A partnership among the ten campuses of the University
of California and the National Science Foundation (NSF). The goal
of this partnership is to increase the number of underrepresented
minority (URM) students who acquire doctoral degrees in the fields
of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and
ultimately enter the professoriate. To achieve this goal, UC AGEP
has created a structured series of program initiatives that span
the pathway to the professoriate.

The goal of the University of California's new Leadership
Excellence through Advanced Degrees (UC LEADS) program is to educate
California's future leaders by preparing promising students for
advanced education in science, technology, mathematics and engineering
(STEM). The program is designed to identify upper-division undergraduate
students with the potential to succeed in these disciplines, but
who have experienced situations or conditions that have adversely
impacted their advancement in their field of study.

UC CAMP is the Louis Stokes UC Alliance for Minority Participation
in the sciences. It is one of 37 alliances nation wide that is sponsored
by the National Science Foundation. The mission of CAMP is to help
Science majors who are African-American, Native-American, and Hispanics
students graduate with their B.S. degrees and ideally go onto STEM
graduate programs. UC CAMP has just received a fifth cycle of funding
which involves 50K to each UC campus plus $20K of UCOP Diversity
Research Initiative funds. Each year in February an annual undergraduate
research symposium and is held to bring together students, staff,
and faculty from each CAMP program. The lead campus in the UC Systemwide
alliance is UC Irvine.
