Hello!

If you are a student and want to become more involved with Wikimedia, be 
a leader and organizer on your university campus, and interact with a 
global network of like-minded students, starting a STUDENT CLUB could be 
a great opportunity for you!

As many of you know, Wikipedia focused university outreach is begin to 
take more and more active forms.[1] I was hoping that you would all be 
the first to begin the conversations about how students clubs can 
effectively become part of the larger Wikimedia movement.[2]

I would love to schedule a time on IRC for us to get together and 
brainstorm ways to move forward with the student movement of 
Wikip/media. Specific agenda items, time, and channel can be found on 
the talk page: 
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikipedia_student_clubs.

Please spread the word! All are welcome – specifically current 
university & college students :)

Jessie
