We discuss the role of Students in Open Source, their importance in any Open Source Project and how GNOME is helping students get Onboard with us through the University Outreach program.

University Outreach program is a new initiative that aims to create a bond between educational institutions and the GNOME community. We will focus on reaching out to universities to help them adopt GNOME technologies and start to contribute to the project, benefiting students, institutions, faculties, and free software communities.

In this talk, we wish to introduce this initiative through GUADEC platform and will have a healthy discussion and feedback from the wider community present at the talk.
