We, therefore, expect each member to come to class meetings on time and prepared to discuss assigned course material. Although class attendance is not mandatory, your participation and discussion grade will benefit to the extent of your commitment to the course as demonstrated through your active engagement in our weekly class meetings. LSAMP Book Award: Upon completion of this class, you will receive 5 book award points towards your 7 annual book award points to receive a $250 stipend. The Book Award is designed to encourage you to expand your scholarship at UConn while also connecting you further to the program. No more than five points can be earned in any given semester, so for example, if you earn 5 points first semester you only need to earn 2 in the spring semester, or if you earn 3 in fall, you need 4 in the spring. In general, one experience = 1 point, exceptions to this rule, while rare, will be publicized as they occur. You must have a minimum of 2 points in a given semester. All points must be reported through the LSAMP website using the following form: http://lsamp.uconn.edu/points-submission/.

Diversity encompasses the presence and participation of people who differ by age, color, ethnicity, gender, national origin, race, religion, and sexual orientation; and includes those with disabilities and from various socio-economic backgrounds. It encompasses not only individuals and groups, but also thoughts and attitudes. The fabric of diversity at our University must be woven in thought and in experience, within a climate where diverse views are welcomed and respected and where there is a commonality that comes from working together to effect constructive change."
