BPC-AE: The STARS Alliance: A Southeastern Partnership for Broadening Participation in Computing

北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校提议扩大现有BPC STAR联盟的规模、范围和影响。STAR是一个具有凝聚力的区域伙伴关系系统，旨在扩大对计算机的参与。它以协作和系统的方式实施、传播和制度化有效做法，以增加计算机学科中妇女、任职人数不足的少数群体和残疾人的人数。这一拟议的扩展侧重于招聘、衔接和保留代表性不足的学生群体，提升初级教员，以及星座东南星座作为一个可复制的区域伙伴关系网络的可持续性和传播，可以在其他地理区域实施。它包括针对K-6的新活动。这一扩展将使联盟扩大到包括至少20个学术机构和80个地区合作伙伴，并将使学生参与STAR学生领导小组(SLC)的人数增加一倍，包括社区学院，以及初中生、教师和指导顾问。最后，它将扩展现有的项目评估，以探索明星对成员机构计算文化的影响。

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.
