Mathematics Research and Mentoring Program (Math RaMP) Spelman College The Department of Mathematics at Spelman College has structured a comprehensive program: Mathematics Research and Mentoring Program (Math RaMP). The two main components of Math RaMP are the Scholarship Program and the Teaching Fellowship Program. The Math RaMP Scholars Program will prepare and direct talented students of color to mathematics graduate education and to careers in the mathematical sciences. Students who have demonstrated high potential and interest in mathematics through their achievement during the first-year and/or second year of college will be selected as RaMP Scholars to participate in a structured enrichment and support program. RaMP Scholars will be awarded academic scholarships that will require participation in the Journal Club Seminar as well as independent research in the mathematical sciences. The Math RaMP Teaching Fellowship Program will award a fellowship to a master?s level woman of color who is transitioning into a doctoral program. The RaMP Teaching Fellow will be mentored by faculty in the department and will gain experience in teaching college-level math. The Fellow will contribute to the Scholars Program by providing supplemental instruction for upper level mathematics courses. The objectives of Math RaMP are to mentor women of color and provide experiences to undergraduate students and a master?s level student that would contribute to the academic success of both groups and assist in increasing the pipeline of women of color pursuing advanced degrees in the mathematical sciences. The Mathematics Research and Mentoring Program (Math RaMP) addresses many of the critical issues and challenges facing African American women at the undergraduate level in mathematics while also preparing and inspiring women of color to continue to graduate study in the mathematical sciences and to associated careers. Overcoming some of the challenges involve: meeting financial needs, building self-confidence, providing role models and mentors, promoting a sense of belonging in science and mathematics for the under-represented, and providing a challenging yet supportive academic environment within a nurturing community?one which expresses high expectations and confidence in the ability of students to achieve. The overall goal of the proposed program is to increase the number of African American women who pursue advanced degrees or careers in the mathematical sciences with an enhanced understanding of the broader career options available in pure and applied mathematics.

数学研究和指导计划 (Math RaMP) 斯佩尔曼学院 斯佩尔曼学院数学系制定了一项综合计划：数学研究和指导计划 (Math RaMP)。 Math RaMP 的两个主要组成部分是奖学金计划和教学奖学金计划。 Math RaMP 学者计划将为有才华的有色人种学生做好数学研究生教育和数学科学职业的准备和指导。通过大学第一年和/或第二年的成绩表现出对数学的巨大潜力和兴趣的学生将被选为 RaMP 学者，参加结构化的充实和支持计划。 RaMP 学者将获得学术奖学金，需要参加期刊俱乐部研讨会以及数学科学的独立研究。 Math RaMP 教学奖学金计划将向正在攻读博士学位的硕士级有色人种女性颁发奖学金。 RaMP 教学研究员将受到该系教师的指导，并将获得教授大学数学的经验。该研究员将通过为高级数学课程提供补充指导来为学者计划做出贡献。 Math RaMP 的目标是指导有色人种女性，并为本科生和硕士生提供经验，这将有助于这两个群体的学术成功，并协助增加有色人种女性攻读数学高级学位的渠道。科学。数学研究和指导计划 (Math RaMP) 解决了非裔美国女性在数学本科阶段面临的许多关键问题和挑战，同时也为有色人种女性做好准备并鼓励他们继续数学科学研究和相关职业的研究生学习。克服一些挑战包括：满足财务需求，建立自信，提供榜样和导师，促进弱势群体对科学和数学的归属感，以及在培育社区中提供具有挑战性但支持性的学术环境？它表达了对学生实现目标的能力的高度期望和信心。 该计划的总体目标是增加在数学科学领域攻读高级学位或职业的非裔美国女性数量，并加深对纯数学和应用数学领域更广泛的职业选择的了解。
