Introducing zStudents-CU
Having volunteered to work as an IBM Z Ambassador in 2020, I closely observed the impact a powerful student community can have upon students even if they are separated geographically. From organizing my first virtual event last year to inspiring 500+ students across the globe through skill building events, my aspiration to provide valuable content to students has strengthened more than ever.
Following my same desire, I am proud to announce the launch of
zStudents-CU, a Chandigarh University Student Community Powered by IBM Z. With
a mission to accelerate the development of both technical & interpersonal skills in students, the community is entirely with students, for students, and by students! zStudents-CU will focus on enabling students to better discover what the future of work needs by connecting them to Industry Experts through virtually hosted sessions. With support from IBM Z, the community will bring quality content to life via IBM Z Global Student Hub, and make it accessible to proactive learners around the world.

To launch the first-ever cohort of zStudents-CU, we are looking to build a team of student leaders driven by a passion to make a positive impact. The opportunity to be a member of zStudents-CU Team is exclusively open for Chandigarh University students, however our events are open to students from every corner of the world. If you're a student of Chandigarh University, India searching for an opportunity to grow professionally & personally, this is your chance to not only build new skills but also share them forward globally.
