Underrepresented racial and ethnic minority (UREM) and disadvantaged background (DB) students often feel a lack of belonging and community in higher education. Participation in Honors Programs has been shown to build a sense of belonging and community associated with short and long-term benefits for both students and their academic institutions.
To describe the program we implemented (the MM program) to increase UREM and DB student representation in a SON Honors Program.
A prospective, descriptive study of SON UREM and DB honors students with a May graduation date of 2017-2020.
A total of 129 students completed honors with 23 MM UREM and DB students completing honors. Seven received highest honors award distinction that exemplifies exceptional work at a level beyond usually high expectations.
A supportive environment for UREM and DB students with resources are essential for students to consider and also complete an honors project.
代表性不足的少数族裔和弱势群体(UREM 和 DB)学生在高等教育中常常感到归属感和社区感的缺失。参与荣誉课程已被证明可以建立归属感和社区感,这对学生及其学术机构都有短期和长期的好处。
描述我们实施的项目(MM 项目),以增加 SON 荣誉课程中 UREM 和 DB 学生的代表性。
对 2017-2020 年 5 月毕业的 SON UREM 和 DB 荣誉学生进行前瞻性、描述性研究。
共有 129 名学生完成了荣誉课程,其中 23 名 MM UREM 和 DB 学生完成了荣誉课程。有 7 名学生获得了最高荣誉奖,这一荣誉代表了超出通常高期望的卓越工作水平。
为 UREM 和 DB 学生提供支持性环境和资源对于学生考虑并完成荣誉项目至关重要。
