The Garden State-Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (GS-LSAMP) will bring together all of the major colleges and universities from the highly urbanized northeastern part of New Jersey to double the number of graduates from underrepresented minority groups in STEM disciplines in 5 years. The Alliance members will use the ?best practices? of other LSAMP?s as well as innovative techniques to best address the academic and social needs of the students and to change the attitude of these students towards STEM careers. Three well-documented causes of attrition in STEM fields at the university level will be targeted: academic support, financial need and social support. The GS-LSAMP will include Rutgers University-Newark (#1 nationally in diversity) in consortium with Rutgers-New Brunswick, Montclair State University, Kean University, William Paterson University, New Jersey City University (HSI), Fairleigh Dickinson University, Bloomfield College, and Essex County College using an innovative ?hub and spoke? model with northern, central, and southern clusters. Each cluster will develop independent and versatile sub-communities with critical masses of students and faculty within the larger LSAMP community. The GS-LSAMP will create a robust Collaborative Learning Community with outreach beyond the Alliance to impact local community colleges and urban school districts through the sharing of ?best practices? in teaching and learning in STEM fields. The GS-LSAMP will also impact local high school and community college communities through one-on-one interactions among GS-LSAMP Scholars and the students in those institutions. A ?cybercommunity? will be created using innovative and locally tested software and techniques. With the dense population and abundance of opportunities to interact with the public, service learning will be an important option for GS-LSAMP Scholars, as will internships/externships among the many industries with STEM needs in the area. There will also be both real and virtual international components.Intellectual Merit: The ability of the project to create, through social and academic networking, a collegial inter- and intra-Alliance environment for the GS-LSAMP Scholars, professors and graduate students. Incoming students will acculturate to college life in a Summer Bridge experience that includes intensive academic workshops augmented by one-to-one tutoring, Academic Skills Seminars, Career Development workshops, and personal development advising. Academic support, including tutoring, advising and mentoring will continue throughout the academic year. The GS-LSAMP Scholars will receive support and encouragement to conduct research with STEM faculty and graduate students. They will share their research with their GS-LSAMP peers in periodic meetings and seminars, which will also provide face-to-face opportunities to build friendships and support networks, that supplement the cyber social networking community. Broader Impact: The GARDEN-LSAMP has the potential to form a network of academic and social support for young scholars interested in pursuing STEM degrees and ultimately careers in STEM fields. The social networking software developed will be made available to all LSAMP alliances. This network will enhance the awareness of the opportunities for students who major in STEM disciplines and will lead to an overall increase in the numbers of underrepresented New Jersey students aspiring to STEM-related fields. The schools that are members of the GS-LSAMP alliance will gain a more diverse group of students with high graduation rates and successful post-graduate careers.

花园州-路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟 (GS-LSAMP) 将汇集新泽西州东北部高度城市化地区的所有主要学院和大学，在 5 年内将 STEM 学科中代表性不足的少数族裔的毕业生人数增加一倍。 联盟成员将使用“最佳实践”。其他 LSAMP 以及创新技术能够最好地满足学生的学术和社会需求，并改变这些学生对 STEM 职业的态度。 我们将针对大学层面 STEM 领域的三个有据可查的人员流失原因：学术支持、财务需求和社会支持。 GS-LSAMP 将包括罗格斯大学纽瓦克分校（全国多样性排名第一）、罗格斯新不伦瑞克分校、蒙特克莱尔州立大学、基恩大学、威廉帕特森大学、新泽西城市大学 (HSI)、费尔利狄金森大学、布卢姆菲尔德学院，和埃塞克斯郡学院使用创新的“中心辐射”？北部、中部和南部集群模型。 每个集群都将在更大的 LSAMP 社区中开发独立且多功能的子社区，其中包含大量的学生和教师。 GS-LSAMP 将创建一个强大的协作学习社区，其范围超出联盟范围，通过分享“最佳实践”来影响当地社区大学和城市学区。在 STEM 领域的教学和学习中。 GS-LSAMP 还将通过 GS-LSAMP 学者与这些机构的学生之间的一对一互动，影响当地高中和社区大学社区。 一个“网络社区”？将使用创新且经过本地测试的软件和技术创建。 由于人口密集且有大量与公众互动的机会，服务学习将成为 GS-LSAMP 学者的重要选择，该地区许多有 STEM 需求的行业的实习/实习也是如此。 还将有真实和虚拟的国际组成部分。 智力优势：该项目通过社交和学术网络为 GS-LSAMP 学者、教授和研究生创建一个学院间和联盟内环境的能力。新生将通过暑期桥体验适应大学生活，其中包括强化学术研讨会，辅以一对一辅导、学术技能研讨会、职业发展研讨会和个人发展建议。学术支持，包括辅导、建议和指导将持续整个学年。 GS-LSAMP 学者将获得支持和鼓励，与 STEM 教师和研究生一起开展研究。他们将在定期会议和研讨会上与 GS-LSAMP 同行分享他们的研究成果，这也将提供面对面的机会来建立友谊和支持网络，从而补充网络社交网络社区。更广泛的影响：GARDEN-LSAMP 有潜力为有兴趣攻读 STEM 学位并最终在 STEM 领域职业的年轻学者形成一个学术和社会支持网络。开发的社交网络软件将提供给所有 LSAMP 联盟。该网络将提高主修 STEM 学科的学生对机会的认识，并将导致有志于 STEM 相关领域的新泽西州学生人数总体增加。 GS-LSAMP 联盟成员学校将获得更加多元化的学生群体，毕业率高，研究生职业生涯成功。
