People learn better when they can learn with a community of likeminded peers. Campus Experts are student leaders that strive to build diverse and inclusive spaces to learn skills, share their experiences, and build projects together. They can be found across the globe leading in-person and online conferences, meetups, and hackathons, and maintaining open source projects. A Campus Expert is trained to build a strong technical community, on campus. As well as training, Campus Experts have access to resources and support from GitHub, such as swag, sponsorship, and the opportunity to attend events like GitHub Universe.

To become a Campus Expert, you must meet the following requirements:

• Be at least 18 years of age.
• Validate your student status through the GitHub Student Developer Pack.
• Be enrolled in a post-secondary formal education institution.
• Have more than one year left as a student before graduating.
• Be a GitHub user for at least six months.
• Not be enrolled in the GitHub Campus Advisors Program.

Applications to the program open every July for a month. If selected to become a Campus Expert, you'll start the Campus Expert training. Upon completion of training, you're officially in. ✨.
