About Us
The STARS Computing Corps at NC State is a student organization that provides students with support throughout their academic journey. STARS fosters an extended student community among academia, industry, and the community. We do so through mentoring, professional development and research experiences to promote recruitment and leadership development in Computer Science. STARS has been implemented with the following central values that have been shown to be effective for recruiting and graduating under-represented students in computing.
