Summary

GitHub Campus Advisors are educators passionate about teaching Git and GitHub, regardless of their technical background, and they play a crucial role in introducing version control to students in diverse fields. The program, initially launched with a focus on self-paced training, is evolving to streamline the application process, seeking teachers who already actively use GitHub and are eager to share their expertise. Campus Advisors benefit from invitations to educational conferences and have opportunities to connect with peers, with varying levels of involvement available, from teaching to presenting at events. The revised application process aims to better support advisors and identify the most committed educators, with applications accessible through the GitHub Teacher Toolbox and a review process that resumes in mid-January.
