Part 1GEOsciences Diversity, Excellence, and Support (GEODES) is a program designed to increase retention and success of under-represented students in the Earth and Planetary Science Department at UCSC, an ongoing challenge for the Earth sciences in the USA. The program provides sustained mentoring, networking, reliable and current information about career paths and opportunities, as well as and professional development. This program will improve retention of students entering the major, ensure a positive and productive experience of a more diverse group of students in the EPS department and help students make the transitions from undergraduate to graduate study and beyond. Ultimately, this program will reduce disparities in graduation rate, course success, and overall GPA among Earth and Planetary Science Department under-represented undergraduates and increase the preparation and transfer of our primarily Hispanic under-represented students to graduate school and/or the geoscience workforce.Part 2 GEODES goals are to reduce disparities in UM outcomes in passing courses, overall GPA, graduate school admission, and to improve job placement for UM and non-UM majors. To accomplish this goal, we will focus on UM academic support and building a sense of belonging within the Earth science community. Specifically, GEODES will focus on three activities: (1) Create a cohort-based support program, targeted to UM students called GEOACE, modeled on UCSC's successful Academic Excellence (ACE) program which has significantly increased UM retention and GPA in introductory STEM courses. Students in GEOACE will receive extra academic support (skills workshops, EPS course-based problem-solving sessions and professional development advising). (2) Offer a paid summer internship to UM students to expose them to geoscience work options and develop skills and connections to help them get jobs or aid in admission to graduate school. (3) Foster a geoscience student community and near-peer support system via a GeoSlugs Lounge Program. Open to all EPS undergraduate students, the Lounge will be a welcoming space to gather, develop friendships and get tutoring and mentoring from graduate students (guided, course-related problem solving as well as general advice and support). GEOACE instructors and Lounge tutor/mentors will receive pedagogy training through ACE.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

第1部分地球科学的多样性，卓越和支持（Geodes）是一项旨在提高UCSC地球和行星科学部代表性不足的学生的保留和成功的计划，这是美国地球科学的持续挑战。该计划提供了有关职业道路和机会以及专业发展的持续指导，网络，可靠和当前的信息。该计划将改善进入专业的学生的保留，确保EPS部门中更多样化的学生的积极和富有成效的经验，并帮助学生从本科到研究生学习及以后进行过渡。最终，该计划将降低地球和行星科学系之间的毕业率，课程成功以及总体GPA的差异，而代表性的本科生则不足，并增加我们主要是西班牙裔学生的准备和转移，以便在毕业生中逐步降低跨越阶段的地球范围，以减少跨越阶段的差异，以降低阶段的差异。改善UM和非UM专业的工作安置。为了实现这一目标，我们将专注于UM学术支持，并建立地球科学界的归属感。具体来说，地理将重点关注三个活动：（1）创建一个基于队列的支持计划，该计划针对的是名为Geoace的学生，以UCSC成功的学术卓越（ACE）计划为蓝本，该计划在入门STEM课程中大大提高了UM保留和GPA。 Geoace的学生将获得额外的学术支持（技能讲习班，基于EPS课程的问题解决方案和专业发展建议）。 （2）向UM学生提供带薪暑期实习，以使他们接触地球科学工作选择，并发展技能和联系，以帮助他们获得工作或帮助入学研究生院。 （3）通过GeoSlugs休息室计划培养地球科学的学生社区和近对支持系统。对所有EPS的本科生开放，休息室将是一个热情的空间，可以收集，建立友谊，并获得研究生的辅导和指导（指导，课程相关的问题解决以及一般建议和支持）。 Geoace讲师和休息室的导师/导师将通过ACE接受教学法培训。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得通过评估。
