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
