The Missouri Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (MoLSAMP) includes two HBCUs, three major research institutions, a regional comprehensive university, a highly selective liberal arts university and an urban community college. The MoLSAMP Alliance will deploy a variety of activities and establish a logical cohesiveness among the individual campuses to promote recruitment, retention and graduation of underrepresented minority students with a goal to increase the number of underrepresented minorities (URM) majoring in and graduation with degrees in STEM disciplines by 125% in five years. The activities undertaken by MoLSAMP to achieve this ambitious objective will be designed to address both the cognitive and non-cognitive factors that influence success in undergraduate education. Featured activities include expansion of access to research and internships that provide experience in real world applied science, comprehensive academic advising and mentoring by dedicated faculty and administration, summer bridge programs for first and second year students and career development conferences and research symposiums designed to bring students and faculty together for informative and inspirational social gatherings. To facilitate a boundary-lite synergistic effort, articulation and reverse articulation agreements will be established to increase fluidity of academic credits between alliance institutions. A comprehensive and frequently updated MoLSAMP website will provide detailed information regarding MoLSAMP activities and related resources and serve as a conduit for student and faculty communication within and between alliance campuses. MoLSAMP supported activities will be continually evaluated to identify best practices and results will be disseminated though a variety of channels to facilitate efforts to increase URM participation and success in STEM nationwide.The MoLSAMP Alliance currently yields 64% of the total STEM baccalaureate degrees conferred to URMs in the State of Missouri. A primary goal of MoLSAMP is to increase the recruitment, retention and successful STEM degree completion of URMs by at least 125% by the year 2021. This goal will help to address the underrepresentation of minority groups in STEM education and the workforce, and with the success of MoLSAMP supported activities, inform the broader efforts of colleges and universities nationwide to diversify the STEM student population and ultimately strengthen our nation's science based workforce. Minority students face a variety of challenges that contribute to their underrepresentation in STEM degree programs. These challenges include insufficient preparation for college level STEM coursework, financial hardship and failure to socially and culturally integrate during the first year of college. MoLSAMP scholars will receive a variety of support mechanisms to mitigate these factors, including intrusive academic advising, ample opportunity to explore applied science through research and internship opportunities, social, academic and career networking opportunities through MoLSAMP organized social gatherings, social media platforms, mentoring programs, and summer bridge programs. MoLSAMP activities will also include measures to increase successful transfer of students from St. Louis Community College to four year degree Alliance institutions, and a 25% increase in URM students entering graduate programs. Successfully and substantially increasing the number of URM students completing degrees, entering graduate programs, working in research laboratories and importantly, teaching and mentoring the next generation of URM STEM students, should provide a scaffold for a sustainable increase in diversity in STEM education and industry.

密苏里州路易斯·斯托克斯少数群体参与联盟（MOLSAMP）包括两个HBCU，三个主要的研究机构，一所区域综合大学，一所高度选择性的文科大学和一所城市社区学院。 MOLSAMP联盟将部署各种活动，并在各个校园之间建立逻辑凝聚力，以促进代表性不足的少数族裔学生的招聘，保留和毕业，目标是在五年中以STEM纪律中的数量增加和毕业的目标不足的少数族裔（URM）数量增加了125％。 Molsamp为实现这一雄心勃勃的目标而开展的活动将旨在解决影响本科教育成功的认知和非认知因素。精选活动包括扩大获得研究和实习机会的访问，这些研究和实习能够提供现实世界应用科学的经验，全面的学术咨询和指导，由专门的教职员工和指导，第一年和第二年的学生夏季桥梁计划以及职业发展会议和研究研讨会，旨在将学生和教师聚集在一起，以提供信息和鼓舞人心的社交聚会。为了促进边界 - 列表协同努力，将建立表达和反向发音协议，以提高联盟机构之间学术信用的流动性。全面且经常更新的Molsamp网站将提供有关Molsamp活动和相关资源的详细信息，并作为联盟校园内外的学生和教师沟通的渠道。 MOLSAMP支持的活动将不断评估以确定最佳实践，并将结果传播，尽管各种渠道，以促进在全国范围内提高URM的参与和成功的努力。当前，MOLSAMP联盟在密苏里州赋予URMS授予URMS的STEM Baccalaulaulaureate总数的64％。 MOLSAMP的一个主要目标是将URM的招聘，保留和成功的STEM学位完成至少125％到2021年。该目标将有助于解决少数群体在STEM教育和劳动力中的代表性不足，并且在Molsamp的成功中，MOLSAMP的成功活动的成功，为全国各地的大学提供了更广泛的努力，从而为STEM学生提供了更广泛的努力，并最终使STEM学生的努力多样化，并最终使我们的国家努力多样化。少数族裔学生面临各种挑战，导致他们在STEM学位课程中的代表性不足。这些挑战包括在大学第一年的大学级STEM课程，经济困难以及无法在社交和文化上融合的准备工作不足。 Molsamp学者将获得各种支持机制来减轻这些因素，包括通过研究和实习机会，通过Molsamp有组织的社交聚会，社交媒体平台，指导计划和夏季桥梁计划，通过研究和实习机会，社交，学术和职业网络机会探索应用科学的机会。 Molsamp活动还将包括将学生从圣路易斯社区学院成功转移到四年制学位联盟机构的措施，以及进入研究生课程的URM学生增加了25％。成功地增加了URM学生的数量，进入研究生课程，从事研究实验室的工作以及重要的是，教学和指导下一代URM STEM学生，应该为STEM教育和行业多样性的可持续增长提供脚手架。
