The INTERalliance is best perceived as a "professional society",
with core values and principles to which its members subscribe.
High school members join their university and industry colleagues
in a collaborative effort to stimulate interest and participation
in Information Management and Information Technology-related careers,
and to promote and capitalize upon the unprecedented resources and
opportunities in the Greater Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky Region.
The chapter of the INTERalliance formed and sustained in each high
school provides a framework for students to embark on additional
site visits, invite in speakers from colleges and industry, and
host events open to INTERalliance members from chapters all over
the region. INTERalliance-brokered internships and the nomination
of 10th graders for the upcoming IT Careers Camp season are coordinated
by working committees of the high school chapter. Typical standing
committees include the Membership Committee, Special Events Committee
(coordination of events open to all INTERalliance-member high schools),
Technical Programs Committee (coordination of events attended only
by members of the hosting chapter), and the Executive Advisory Committee
(chaired by the Student Coordinator and comprised of the faculty
and staff supporting the INTERalliance programs).
Changing the lives and perspectives of 80 of Cincinnati's
brightest young minds!
For four weeks starting on July 16th, twenty graduating 10th graders each week
got to experience a deep dive into the world of Information Technology at some
of the Greater Cincinnati region's leading employers.
The students were nominated by
their high schools for a wide variety of reasons, each responding
to the request from the INTERalliance for students "who would
get the most out of being shown what's available right here in Cincinnati
in the way of career opportunities in IT."
The 80 students were selected from 16 local college-prep high schools, including
Cincinnati Country Day, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy, Cincinnati Christian
Schools, Hughes Center HS, Indian Hill HS, Mount Notre Dame HS, Mother of Mercy
High School, St. Henry's District High School, St. Ursula Academy, St. Xavier
HS, Summit Country Day School, Sycamore High School, Ursuline Academy, Walnut
Hills HS, Western Hills University High School, Withrow University High School.
Sixty-five percent of the nominated students were young women! Read
