We’ve been getting a great question lately: who’s allowed to organize a WordPress Campus Connect event? The short answer: anyone in good standing!
WordPress Campus Connect is designed to break down barriers and make it easier for more people to get involved. You don’t need to be a longtime community member or have prior organizing experience. If you have a connection to an educational institution and want to help students learn practical WordPress skills, you’re welcome to host a Campus Connect event.
So, who can organize a WordPress Campus Connect event?
Simply put, anyone in good standing with a connection to an educational institution is eligible to organize a WordPress Campus Connect event. Our main goal is to help students learn practical skills and connect them with the amazing WordPress community, and part of that is by breaking down the barriers to get started.
