OVERVIEW
The Illinois Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (I-LSAMP) formerly the Chicago Alliance for Minority Participation (ChAMP) was formed in 1993 in response to the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) mandate to significantly increase the number of underrepresented minority scholars earning degrees in science, mathematics, engineering and technology (SMET) disciplines. In support of this goal, I-LSAMP has 1) provided programs to improve SMET students academic preparation, 2) modified or reinvented gateway courses to better educate more students and, 3) provided under-represented students with more educational options to increase opportunity and enhance performance. With continued support, this program can and will serve as a solid foundation for students achievement.
PROGRAMS
Illinois LS-AMP provides activities that are comprehensive, multi-disciplinary, and focused on enhancing the scholarship of minority students. Considerable effort is expended to address transition points in a student’s academic career. The transition points include high school to college, 2-year college to 4-year college, under-graduate study to graduate study, and academic study to careers in SMET. Other activities include: hands-on research apprenticeships, scholarship programs, science conferences, facilitated study groups, faculty mentoring, professional development activities, peer mentoring, summer bridge programs and internships.     |
