When we started the Meyerhoff Scholars Program nearly 20 years ago, we faced a major challenge—helping students of color achieve at the highest levels academically in science and engineering(S&E). Minority students at the time, even at institutions with relatively large numbers majoring in the sciences, were not【C1】______
UMBC, with an【C2】______minority enrollment of approximately 20 percent, was no different. Today, however, we are among the nation’s leaders in producing African American graduates with bachelor’s degrees in such areas as biochemistry.
I’m deeply proud of our numbers. The Meyerhoff Program has【C3】______more than 800 high-achieving students; we have approximately 30 current scholars on campus. More than 5 percent of the program’s nearly 50 graduates have completed undergraduate degrees in S&E fields, and nearly 90 percent of those graduates have gone on to S&E graduate and professional programs. Every month, at least one former Meyerhoff Scholar earns a science-related Ph. D.
To bring about the kinds of institutional changes needed to produce many more minority S&E graduates, academic leaders must willingly engage the campus community in wide-ranging conversations about minority【C4】______and performance.
These conversations must be informed by institutional data on the performance of all students—both high-achievers and underachieves—and by【C5】______the effectiveness of instructional methods, including whether students have opportunities to engage in productive research with faculty mentors(导师). We have learned that it takes experienced researchers to produce aspiring researchers.
UMBC faculty have thought long and hard about these issues, and the campus has benefited【C6】______from their experimentation, assessment, and analysis. By involving all parties in the process, we have gained the broad buy-in needed to achieve substantive, durable change.
We also are working to apply the "Meyerhoff Model" throughout the university. One example is our effort to increase the number of women S&E faculty and to support their【C7】______development. Supported by an ADVANCE【C8】______from the National Science Foundation, we have listened to the voices of women(and men)faculty and department Chairs, all of whom are working to make a difference. They are learning from one another about best practices, such as the critical【C9】______mentoring plays in the development of women faculty in scientific and technical fields. The data reflect our success. Since 1999, UMBC has increased the number of women faculty in S&E tenure-track(终身教授)positions from 20 to 39, while the number of men in these positions has remained unchanged. Women now【C10】______nearly a quarter of all S&E tenure-track positions compared with only 13 percent in 1999.
A)enormously I)abolish
B)occupy J)role
C)ambiguous K)underrepresented
D)enrolled L)extraction
E)professional M)excelling
F)participation N)formulate
G)empirically O)grant
H)evaluating
【C8】
选项
答案
O
解析
由空格前的Supported by和空格后的from the National ScienceFoundation可推知,该项目应该是受到了国家科学基金会一项基金的帮助,故O)grant“基金”为答案。
