Well I guess you could call this a piece of gratuitous or stealth marketing however I'd argue that it's all about knowing and understanding your target audience ... So this is for all of you studying a computing-science-related undergraduate or postgraduate degree at a university in the UK. IF you are extremely passionate about technology, and IF you are self-motivated and willing to help and share your technological expertise with the academic community then you might well be a great candidate for the Microsoft Student Partner Programme.
The MSP Programme is an annual award designed to recognise the brightest and most innovative student developers and young technology enthusiasts for their proactive and outstanding contribution to the academic community. And its Microsoft's way of encouraging students to develop their skills further and it’s also a great chance to get some “real world experience”.
We’ve just opened the nomination process for the 2005 programme and if you think that you meet the above criteria or know of another prospective candidate then please ask your lecturer to nominate you before the closing deadline of August 1st 2004.
