How to Become a Member

Members must be an enrolled graduate or undergraduate student at NC State University. Due to our focus on broadening participation in computing, we mainly recruit from computer science and electrical & computer engineering majors. However, we have also accepted students in non-technical majors if they have a strong background and/or interest in computing. There is no specific academic requirement; we encourage all interested students to join.

To join, please fill out this form:http://go.ncsu.edu/stars-interest or contact Ally Limke (anlimke@ncsu.edu) to be added to the mailing list.

Who Should Apply

The STARS Student Computing Corps is open to students of North Carolina State University at all academic levels. You don’t need to have the highest GPA or standardized test scores. We’re looking for students who want to participate in dynamic research, service, outreach, or mentoring projects. In addition to the individual project, STARS students work together on activities that aim to broaden participation in computing and technology.

Why You Should Join

As a STARS student, you will develop leadership skills, be trained as a mentor, receive personalized mentoring, and get the opportunity to work on an exciting research, service, mentoring, or outreach project of your choice. You will network with students at other colleges nationwide such as Auburn, Florida State, Florida A&M, Georgia Tech, North Carolina A&T, UNC Charlotte. The STARS Alliance has expanded to the national level, so we are working together with dozens of other institutions. As a STARS student, you will expand your opportunities to become a student leader and do good in the community.
