The University of North Carolina, Charlotte proposes to extend the size, scope and impact of the existing BPC STARS Alliance. STARS is a cohesive system of regional partnerships that aims to broaden participation in computing. It collaboratively and systematically implements, disseminates, and institutionalizes effective practices for increasing the number of women, under-represented minorities, and persons with disabilities in the computing disciplines. This proposed Extension focuses on the recruitment, bridging, and retention of under-represented student populations, the advancement of junior faculty, and the sustainability and dissemination of the STARS Southeastern Constellation as a replicable network of regional partnerships, that can be implemented in other geographic regions. It includes new activities aimed at K-6. The Extension will grow the Alliance to include at least 20 academic institutions and 80 regional partners, and it will double student participation in the STARS Student Leadership Corps (SLC), including community colleges, as well as middle and high school students, teachers and guidance counselors. Finally, it will extend the existing program evaluation to explore STARS impact on the computing culture at member institutions.

位于夏洛特的北卡罗来纳州大学提议扩大现有BPC STARS联盟的规模、范围和影响。STARS是一个有凝聚力的区域伙伴关系系统，旨在扩大对计算的参与。它协作和系统地实施，传播和制度化的有效做法，以增加妇女，代表性不足的少数民族和残疾人在计算学科的数量。这一拟议的扩展侧重于招聘，桥接和保留代表性不足的学生群体，初级教师的进步，以及作为可复制的区域伙伴关系网络的STARS东南星座的可持续性和传播，可以在其他地理区域实施。它包括针对K-6的新活动。扩展将使联盟扩大到包括至少20个学术机构和80个区域合作伙伴，并将使学生参与STARS学生领导团（SLC）的人数增加一倍，包括社区学院，以及初中和高中学生，教师和指导顾问。最后，它将扩展现有的计划评估，以探索STARS对成员机构计算文化的影响。
