GitHub campus advisors announced
The new Campus Advisors program brings together teachers who want to teach about Git and GitHub regardless of technical background. The application was revised to encourage teachers who already use GitHub and are ready to start teaching to apply right away.
These advisors then introduce students to the importance of version control and encourage colleagues to teach with Git and GitHub.
“We’re dedicated to providing our advisors with additional support going forward. We’ll start by creating more touchpoints for advisors to connect with one another,” GitHub wrote in a blog post. “We also are creating levels of involvement, so advisors can choose whether they want to simply teach and ensure that their school has access to GitHub Education benefits or go further and present at events and conferences.”
