Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation
Spring 2009
Position: AEW Facilitator
Program Description:
The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Program or LSAMP is one of the National Science Foundation's and

Math workforce needs of the twenty-first century.

The Fresno State LSAMP program is housed out of the Health Careers Opportunity Program or HCOP office on campus. One
of the activities the office conducts under the LSAMP program is the Academic Excellence Workshops (AEW).

The Academic Excellence Workshops are a non-remedial academic support program, which targets high-risk courses. Offered
to all students enrolled in a particular course, they provide assistance on an outreach basis in regularly scheduled, out-of-class
study sessions during the academic year.

The Uri Treisman model approach is applied in these workshops. The approach concentrates on the need to create social
groups that are based in participants' educational experiences. Participants gain a more complete mastery of material, enhance
their technical communications skills, and increase their ability to work as a team member.

has done well) and are taken to assist and enhance a student’s experience in their math and sciences courses.
The workshops are held once per week for 2 hours and are taken for 1 unit – credit/no-credit grading. Students must enroll in order
to attend.
