The University of South Florida (USF) together with Hillsborough Community College (HCC) proposes a series of coordinated programs designed to broaden the participation of Hispanic as well as other underrepresented minority students in computing. The proposed programs will establish the educational pathway and provide the support that students need to make successful transitions at critical points in their educational journey from the community college to the baccalaureate level and from the baccalaureate to the graduate level. The programs are built upon the strengths of the partnering institutions: HCC?s successful personalized advising, mentoring, and tracking initiatives and USF?s research experience with undergraduates are utilized as recruiting, retention, and enhancement tools. A personalized advising service and two summer programs combining research and academic courses are proposed to recruit, retain, and prepare community college students on their path toward 4-yr universities. The advising service will track students very closely to make sure they take and continue in the chosen path. The academic courses, with an important programming and math component, will allow the transfer students to meet the academic requirements for admission to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at USF. The research component will pave the way for them to participate in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programs later on. These summer programs will be designed and implemented by USF and HCC professors, creating a new learning community that will extend to HCC classrooms on a permanent basis. USF?s REU programs for juniors and seniors will be utilized to help transfer students graduate and prepare them for graduate school and the work force. These research programs are also meant to create a learning community among these students, and the graduate students and professors at USF.

南佛罗里达大学 (USF) 与希尔斯伯勒社区学院 (HCC) 共同提出了一系列协调计划，旨在扩大西班牙裔以及其他代表性不足的少数族裔学生在计算机领域的参与。 拟议的计划将建立教育途径，并为学生提供在从社区大学到学士学位以及从学士学位到研究生的教育旅程中的关键时刻成功过渡所需的支持。这些计划建立在合作机构的优势之上：HCC 成功的个性化建议、指导和跟踪计划以及 USF 的本科生研究经验被用作招募、保留和增强工具。建议提供个性化咨询服务和两个结合研究和学术课程的暑期项目，以招募、留住社区学院学生，并为他们迈向四年制大学做好准备。咨询服务将非常密切地跟踪学生，以确保他们采取并继续选择的道路。学术课程包含重要的编程和数学部分，将使转学生能够满足南佛罗里达大学计算机科学与工程系入学的学术要求。研究部分将为他们以后参与本科生研究经验（REU）项目铺平道路。这些暑期项目将由 USF 和 HCC 教授设计和实施，创建一个新的学习社区，并将永久扩展到 HCC 教室。南佛罗里达大学针对大三和大四的 REU 项目将用于帮助转学生毕业，并为他们进入研究生院和就业做好准备。这些研究项目还旨在在这些学生以及南佛罗里达大学的研究生和教授之间创建一个学习社区。
