DevHive Swarms the UM Looking for Future Rock Stars

Monday, October 1, 2007

Tomorrow, DevHive is going to be at the University of Michigan's College of Engineering looking for future programming rock stars. We are attending a Career Fair that is being hosted by a student-driven group called MPowered. I love the vision of MPowered--to foster the kind of entrepreneurial environment that surrounds other top universities like Stanford. I've had limited interactions with the student leadership team, but I can say already that I'm impressed.

Anyway, we thought this would be the perfect time to do a little DevHive promotion. So we put our heads together and thought, what do engineering students love more than anything else? Answer: coffee! (Ok, that's not really #1, but we really can't provide #1-#3 on the list...so coffee's got to be at least #4, right?)

So here's the promotion. We're going to give 20 Starbucks gift cards away tomorrow ($5 each). To "earn" the card, you've got to do the following:

  1. Link to this blog from somewhere in the Great Big Cloud (e.g., facebook, myspace, etc.)
  2. Let me know by posting a comment on this blog or by sending me an email (see my blog profile).
  3. Show up at the DevHive table at the Career Fair and claim your prize.

NOTE: The gift cards will go to the first 20 who show up at our table, *not* the first 20 to link to our blog.
