The University of North Carolina at Charlotte proposes a system of regional partnerships, called the STARS (Students and Technology in Academia, Research, and Service) Alliance. Alliance members - North Carolina State University, Meredith College, Georgia Tech University, Spelman College, Auburn University, Florida State University, Florida A&M University, the University of South Florida Lakeland, and Landmark College - will collaboratively implement, disseminate, and institutionalize effective practices for recruiting, bridging, and graduating students from the underrepresented groups in computing. The STARS Alliance is structured as five local alliances or "stars," each including research, minority-serving and women's institutions, K-12 schools, industry, and community groups. Alliance activities will build on existing diversity efforts at each of the stars, pooling expertise and resources, to consolidate, scale, replicate and sustain efforts across multiple institutions and populations. Specific activities include a Student Leadership Corps (SLC), a variety of committees and task forces to facilitate the exchange of information across the alliance, a web portal to disseminate information on the alliance and host a repository of socially relevant projects, a Marketing and Careers Campaign, curricular changes, and a yearly STARS workshop. The SLC is the core of these programs, providing multiple touch points for students to find information and support throughout their academic journey. The SLC will foster an extended student community among students, academia, industry and community through civic engagement, mentoring, and professional development and research experiences. All SLC students will attend an alliance-wide, week-long summer workshop to promote community building and prepare the students for their upcoming SLC assignments. Possible assignments include Outreach Ambassadors to 7th through 12th grades, service learning that uses their computer skills for community projects, research and internship experiences, and peer mentoring.

北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校提出了一个区域合作体系，称为STARS（学术、研究和服务中的学生和技术）联盟。联盟成员——北卡罗莱纳州立大学、梅雷迪思学院、佐治亚理工大学、斯佩尔曼学院、奥本大学、佛罗里达州立大学、佛罗里达农工大学、南佛罗里达莱克兰大学和地标学院——将共同实施、传播和制度化有效的做法，从计算机领域代表性不足的群体中招募、衔接和毕业学生。STARS联盟由五个地方联盟或“明星”组成，每个联盟包括研究、少数民族服务和妇女机构、K-12学校、工业和社区团体。联盟活动将建立在每个明星现有的多样性努力的基础上，汇集专业知识和资源，在多个机构和人群中巩固、扩大、复制和维持努力。具体活动包括学生领导团（SLC）、各种委员会和工作组，以促进联盟之间的信息交流、一个传播联盟信息的门户网站，并主持一个社会相关项目的存储库、营销和职业运动、课程变更和年度STARS研讨会。SLC是这些项目的核心，为学生在整个学术旅程中找到信息和支持提供多个接触点。SLC将通过公民参与、指导、专业发展和研究经验，在学生、学术界、工业界和社区之间建立一个扩展的学生社区。所有SLC学生都将参加一个联盟范围内的为期一周的暑期研讨会，以促进社区建设，并为学生即将到来的SLC作业做好准备。可能的任务包括7到12年级的外联大使，利用他们的计算机技能进行社区项目的服务学习，研究和实习经历，以及同伴指导。
