The STARS mission is to develop college students and faculty as leaders who take action to broaden participation in computing. At participating academic member institutions, STARS faculty support STARS students as they lead computer science service-learning activities, including near-peer outreach that introduces K-12 students to computing and within-department peer tutoring, mentoring, and research collaborations. Over 80 faculty and 2600 college students, mostly from underrepresented groups (47% women; 41% black; 10% Hispanic), from 53 universities have taken an active role in broadening participation through STARS, reaching over 140,000 K12 students in STARS outreach projects.<span class="m_7668596776650568342Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica"><b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">More about the goals of the STARS/ECEP Partnership:</span></b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><br>STARS has committed to work with ECEP state leaders to 1) inform STARS members about ECEP state-level reform initiatives and 2) inform ECEP members about STARS activities and 3) facilitate collaboration between STARS and ECEP to align activities at STARS institutions with ECEP state-level initiatives. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica"><b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">More about ECEP member participation:</span></b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Participating ECEP members are asked to:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">1.<span style="font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-family:"Times New Roman""> <span class="m_7668596776650568342Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><i><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Participate in an initial conference call with a STARS leader in their state</span></i><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">.
