The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in diversifying the STEM workforce through their efforts at significantly increasing the numbers of students from historically underrepresented minority populations to successfully complete high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The LSAMP Bridge to the Baccalaureate (B2B) funding opportunity provides support for historically underrepresented minority STEM students who begin their instruction at a community college with the intent to transfer into 4-year STEM degree programs in addition to other infrastructure support such as STEM faculty professional development. This project, Educational Network to GAin STEM Graduates and Enhance STEM Education (ENGAGE), broadens participation of underrepresented minority (URM) students and enhances diversity in STEM. Valencia College, on behalf of the Central Florida STEM Alliance (CFSA), seeks to significantly increase the number of URM STEM students transferring from CFSA two-year colleges, Valencia College, Lake-Sumter State College and Polk State College, to STEM baccalaureate degree programs at regional university partners, the Florida Institute of Technology, Florida Polytechnic University, University of Central Florida, University of Florida and University of South Florida. ENGAGE creates a network between secondary education, community colleges, four-year institutions and graduate programs to offer viable pathways to STEM degree achievement. ENGAGE supports URM students' access and early exposure to STEM disciplines through comprehensive support services with linkages to university LSAMP partners including the Florida-Georgia LSAMP Bridges to the Doctorate program. ENGAGE advances research on effective practices in engaging URM students through the academic, social, and professional integration of STEM that aligns with the LSAMP model. ENGAGE informs the STEM community on institutional practices that impact recruitment, retention, and transfer-readiness strategies specific to URM STEM student success at two-year colleges. Through this LSAMP B2B partnership, ENGAGE seeks to achieve significant gains in the development of a diverse, globally-competitive workforce and create new STEM pathways for URM students leading to an increase of URM graduates with STEM baccalaureate and graduate degrees.

路易斯·斯托克（Louis Stok）与少数群体参与（LSAMP）计划（LSAMP）计划协助大学通过他们的努力大大增加了从历史上代表性不足的少数人群中的学生人数，以成功完成科学，技术，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学分的高质量学位课程，从而使STEM劳动力多样化。 LSAMP桥通往学士学位（B2B）的资金机会为历史上代表性不足的少数族裔STEM学生提供了支持，他们在社区大学开始教学，此外，他们除了其他基础设施支持（例如STEM教师专业发展）之外，还有意转移到4年的STEM学位课程中。 该项目是获得STEM毕业生并增强STEM教育（参与）的教育网络，扩大了代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生的参与并增强了STEM的多样性。瓦伦西亚学院（Valencia College）代表佛罗里达州中部STEM联盟（CFSA），试图大大增加从CFSA两年学院，Valencia College，Valencia College，瓦伦西亚州立大学和波尔克州立学院转移的URM STEM学生的数量，启动Babcalauleate stem Baccalaureate，在佛罗里达大学佛罗里达大学弗洛伊达大学，佛罗里达大学，佛罗里达大学，佛罗里达大学，佛罗里达大学，佛罗里达大学，佛罗里达大学。参与者在中等教育，社区学院，四年制机构和研究生课程之间建立了一个网络，以提供可行的STEM学位成就途径。参与者支持URM学生通过与大学LSAMP合作伙伴联系的全面支持服务，包括佛罗里达 - 乔治亚LSAMP BRIDGES的全面支持服务。通过与LSAMP模型保持一致的STEM的学术，社会和专业融合，对有效实践的研究进行了进步研究。参与者将STEM社区告知影响招聘，保留和转移的准备策略的机构实践。通过这种LSAMP B2B合作伙伴关系，Gaing试图在发展全球，全球竞争力的劳动力的发展方面取得巨大的收益，并为URM学生创造新的STEM途径，从而导致Stem Baccalaureate和研究生学位的URM毕业生增加。
