Two days ago, I was selected out of many students that applied to represent Google Inc. on my campus as one of the next Google Student Ambassadors for the Federal University of Technology, Akure. I was filled with joy because it is a dream of mine to align with such big company that promotes technology from every aspect. We have hundreds of Google apps and products starting from the Google Search we all use to GMail to YouTube and so on. These guys have really tried for the technology world.
Posting this good news on my Facebook profile attracted so many congratulatory comments and questions in my inbox. "What's GSA all about?" "How did you get to rep Google?" and so many more.
These similar but different stream of questions could be narrowed down to the two questions I will answer here.
What is the GSA all about?
The Google Student Ambassador program is a program aimed at tech savvy students but not necessarily in the tech field. They are to act as liaisons between Google Inc. and their universities; organize Google events; preach about Google apps and lots more.
How do you get to be a GSA?
If you have a Google Student Club in your school, it is advisable that you join them. NOTE that it is not a criteria of selection. Either ways, you have to look out for the next GSA recruitment notice by checking the Official Google Africa Blog or Google Student Blog frequently. You can also be checking the Google For Education website for it.

Congratulations to all the new Google Student Ambassadors especially those from Sub-Saharan Africa.
