Abstract

ABSTRACTIn this article, we explore the work of Marcia Gentry as it relates to Project Having Opportunities Promotes Excellence (HOPE).We describe Project HOPE, the hundreds of scholarships it provided to students from around the country, and the broader effect it had on gifted student programs at Purdue University. We also discuss how Project HOPE affected Marcia’s scholarship and work related to equity issues in gifted education, as she became increasingly concerned and impatient with the inequities and slow pace of change in the field of gifted education. Finally, we reflect on the opportunities that Marcia provided her doctoral students and her role as our mentor, colleague, and friend. Marcia’s legacy of providing both opportunities and mentoring has left us to be indebted to her.KEYWORDS: enrichmentequityexcellenceprogramssummertalent development Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsNielsen PereiraNielsen Pereira, PhD, is an associate professor of Gifted, Creative, and Talented Studies at Purdue University and Director of Purdue’s Gifted Education Research & Resource Institute (GER2I).

玛西娅·金特里的生活和工作:提供机会,促进卓越
在本文中,我们将探讨玛西娅·金特里(Marcia Gentry)与“有机会促进卓越项目”(HOPE)相关的工作。我们描述了希望工程,它为来自全国各地的学生提供了数百个奖学金,以及它对普渡大学天才学生项目的更广泛影响。我们还讨论了希望工程如何影响玛西娅的奖学金和与资优教育公平问题相关的工作,因为她越来越关注和不耐烦资优教育领域的不平等和缓慢的变化。最后,我们回顾了玛西娅为她的博士生提供的机会,以及她作为我们的导师、同事和朋友的角色。马西娅为我们提供了机会和指导,这让我们非常感激她。关键词:浓缩卓越项目夏季人才发展披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。nielsen Pereira,博士,是普渡大学天才、创意和天才研究的副教授,也是普渡大学天才教育研究与资源研究所(GER2I)主任。他的研究兴趣包括识别天才人群的概念、背景和测量问题;不同资优教育环境下学习的设计与评估了解有天赋和有才能的学生在学校内外的人才发展项目中的经历。scott J.
