Campus Experts have access to resources and support from GitHub, such as swag, sponsorship, and the opportunity to attend events like GitHub Universe. What started out as a way to encourage students to become advocates for GitHub is now a much broader initiative that starts with an eight-week training programme and features students from across the globe. As part of a network of technology leaders at universities around the world, the campus experts will receive training and mentorship from GitHub employees, opportunities to participate in exclusive events, and support to help grow the local student developer community.
