Daniel Wissa's .NET Journey - James is blogging

Wednesday, October 05, 2005

James Carpinter, the current Student Ambassador and my successor as a Student Ambassader, has now started blogging. He is currently looking for someone to replace him as a Student Ambassador as he is leaving university this year.

Are you a student at Canterbury who is interested in this then let him know or let Paul Lo the Academic Advisor at Microsoft know.

The program is really great and there is a lot you can get out from it.

Got any questions about the experience? ask me or ask James :-)

Also, I took the Student Ambassador role one step further and was involved this year with the first Student Advisory Board for version two (which is now live) of theSpoke. There is a big chance they will be arranging a new board next year, so if you think this will be an interesting challenge, then stay tuned and keep an eye on Mario's Blog
