1. The model developed in the McNair Program will be continued. As part of this approach, an ongoing record of graduates will be maintained.

2. Other existing efforts to mentor undergraduate students will be continued. Where possible, the efforts will be expanded in number and the connection to aspiring to future faculty positions will be made more explicit.

3. A more formalized way of identifying promising students and supporting them through the university will be devised.

4. A higher education internship program will be proposed. This program will allow students to participate in aspects of higher education, attend appropriate conferences, and gain greater understanding of the field of higher education. 

· Plan for identifying promising students of color

· Record of graduates and their progress

· Numbers of students of color who enroll in graduate school 

Currently, promising students of color are identified through their participation in the precollege programs; through identification by UW-W faculty, staff, and alumni; and by self-referral.
