The Solana U Discord is our central hub for communication, education, and resource aggregation. We currently have office hours every Wednesday from 1-2 PM PST if you have any developer questions or just want to hang out. Join our Discord here!

It will feature a wide variety of speakers from the Solana ecosystem, a series of developer workshops, and lots of prizes! The event is from September 21 - 25 and will be streamed on Twitch.

🧑🎓・Solana U Ambassador Program
We are actively seeking passionate students within the blockchain ecosystem to become Solana U Ambassadors. Selected ambassadors will represent their university and serve as its point-of-contact for Solana. We will work closely with ambassadors throughout the academic year to understand the needs of their specific group, discover how we can be most helpful to them, and enable their success in developing on Solana.
For more information about the program, check out these ambassador guidelines.
