Fostering Transfer Student Success Through Cross Campus Collaboration Maia Randle, Ph.D., PI and Program Coordinator, Columbus State Community College
LSAMP (Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation) • LSAMP was authorized by Congress and established in 1991 to significantly increase the quality and quantity of students historically underrepresented in STEM who successfully complete baccalaureate degrees and who continue on to graduate studies in STEM disciplines. • Funded by NSF • Named after Ohio’s first Black Congressman, Louis Stokes (Cleveland)
LSAMP Student Eligibility • Studying a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) discipline(s) (nursing and health science majors are not eligible) • Are a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or permanent resident of the United States • Are an underrepresented minority: African-American, Alaskan Native, American Indian, Hispanic American, Native Hawaiian, Native Pacific Islander, or two or more of the above
The Ohio LSAMP Alliance Partner Institution Locations
The Ohio LSAMP Alliance Collaborative Initiatives • Peer Mentoring Program – alliance wide program • Shared Bridge Programs – in addition, OSU has a transfer bridge program for CSCC students which provides knowledge of campus resources • Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) • Community College Pathways Task Force a) Keeps track of current articulations and transfer agreements in the alliance b) Uses the Transfer Planning Tool (3-step guide to transfer planning and worksheet) • Program Coordinator Retreat • The Ohio LSAMP Alliance Conference – given every other year
Essentials of LSAMP Programming • Advising and Counseling • Bridge Program/Early Arrival Programs • Tutoring or Supplemental Instruction • Peer Mentoring • Faculty Mentoring • Undergraduate Research • Professional Development
LSAMP Programming at Columbus State Community College (CSCC) LSAMP Students participate in the following types of programming at CSCC : • Tutoring – students are tutored by CSCC STEM faculty. • STEM Club – exposes students to STEM careers and provides professional development opportunities. • STEM Bridge Program – 1 week program for 1 st yr students which focuses on time management and study skills, knowledge of campus resources, the development of faculty-student relationships, hands-on science labs, engineering activities, and identifying and remediating fundamental misconceptions in chemistry and math. • Community Service Events: We are STEM – CSCC hosts STEM activities for area high schools. Young Men of Color STEM Career Conference – CSCC and COSI co-host science related activities and experiences for 6-8 th grade young men from area schools. • Individual advising from STEM advisors
Columbus State Community College (CSCC) & The Ohio State University (OSU)Collaboration CSCC LSAMP Students participate in the following types of programming at OSU : • Peer Mentoring – 1 st and 2 nd year CSCC students are matched (based on their plan of study) with junior and senior OSU students who provide resources and guidance for transfer to a 4-yr institution. • Faculty Mentoring – 1 st and 2 nd year CSCC students are matched (based on their plan of study) with OSU faculty mentors. Faculty mentors help students to start thinking about an undergraduate research project. Meetings with faculty mentors may include the following: A tour of the laboratory with explanations by graduate students of their projects Introductions to other faculty researchers and their laboratories Short hands-on activities, projects, or experiments Assisting in data collection Discussions of possible research projects, funding opportunities, transferring to OSU, internship opportunities, study abroad opportunities, and the benefits of doing undergraduate research • Undergraduate Research – 1 st and 2 nd year CSCC students are selected to participate in REUs at OSU during autumn and spring semesters or during the summer http://cem.osu.edu/education-and-outreach/reu/community-college/ • Programming Opportunities at OSU for CSCC students

Ohio Transfer Statistics • There were 85,686 first-time enrollees at Ohio public two-year institutions between Summer 2010 and Spring 2011. Table 1 provides an ethnic distribution of the entire cohort, while table 2 does the same for only the transfer students from the cohort; transfer is defined as enrollment at any four-year institution in the nation within six years (by 2016).
