Who we are

What is a GitHub Campus Advisor?

As a GitHub Campus Advisor, you’re not only a master of Git and GitHub, but you champion the use of real-world tools at your school. Campus Advisors help their communities thrive by:

Preparing students for the real world

Sharing best practices with colleagues

Interacting with educators beyond their campus

On top of that, Advisors will enjoy:

  • Event support on campus or at conferences via the Campus Advisors Professional Development Network (CAPDN)
  • Early access to new education features and materials from GitHub Education.
  • Special invitations to educational conferences and meetups around the world.
  • GitHub Campus Advisors-only gear and special swag.
