It is the time of year when we are recruiting the next batch of Microsoft Student Partners. We really welcome your nominations; preferably one per university and a student who is in their 2nd year so that they can gain experience prior to any internship. The most successful MSPs have good presentation skills (although we do provide training) and like to share what they know with others. Typically they will act as our ambassadors on campus and will be encouraged to do a host of activities that could include:

• running coding events,
• install fests,
• blogging,
• working with faculty as a lab assistant
• being the Geek God in your university halls

Here's what 2 of this year's MSPs thought of their role:

Application information can be found here - deadline is 26th May!

If you have a student who is any of the above then please encourage them to apply and also send an email to Muhammad at t-mujwa@microsoft.com letting him know that you are recommending them.
