Loyola University, in collaboration with the University of Illinois at Chicago, the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, proposes a planning project for an effort to broaden participation in computing among students in the densely populated Chicago metropolitan area. Proposed activities will focus on a coordinated effort at high school outreach: extensive metro-wide outreach to high schools growing out of a rich network of connections among college and high school students, faculty, and staff that includes an emphasis on interdisciplinary work as well as exposure to varied career paths, and community-building activities. Proposed activities are designed not only to cultivate a larger, stronger, and more diverse corps of computing professionals but also one that is more outward-looking and more service-oriented. This project is seen as the first step in building a larger Alliance.

洛约拉大学与伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校、伊利诺伊大学香槟分校合作，提出了一个规划项目，旨在扩大人口稠密的芝加哥大都市区的学生对计算机的参与。拟议的活动将侧重于高中外展的协调努力：从大学生和高中生、教职员工之间丰富的联系网络中发展出广泛的城市范围内的高中外展，其中包括强调跨学科工作以及接触不同的职业道路，以及社区建设活动。拟议的活动不仅旨在培养一支更大、更强大、更多样化的计算专业队伍，而且还旨在培养一支更外向、更面向服务的队伍。该项目被视为建立更大联盟的第一步。
