Welcome to the Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors Program Interview Series!
In this series, we will hear and learn from current and old Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors about their personal experiences with the Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors Program and why they think students should join and be a part of the program and community.
Today, I will be interviewing Sophia Iroegbu, she is a Gold Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador from Nigeria, studying Plant Health Management at Micheal Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike. Umuahia, Abia
How did you get to know about the Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors program?
In 2021, a friend told me about the Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors program and how it would help me meet other developers. I applied for the first cohort in 2022 but didn't get in. Then I met Kojo Shaddy, a now MVP who assisted me with my application, we had calls and he mentioned how my answers were not compelling enough. I later got in the April of 2022 and it's been a fun ride ever since then.
What is your personal experience with the Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors program?
This is the best student program I have joined. I am also part of other student programs/communities but the Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors program just hits different. The welcoming community, the friends I met, the advice I got. made it all worth it.
I met friends who motivated me to become better, who helped me prep for interviews, who gave me negotiation advice (which I had no idea I was supposed to do).
What have you benefited from the Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors program?
Besides the incentives which has helped me in so many ways than one, I also got amazing friends who can GEEK out with me and not make me feel like a nerd. I made amazing friendships that has gone outside of tech stuff and for that I am forever grateful.
What advice do you have for students and why do you think they should join the Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors Program
If you ever need a place to grow, learn and build with amazing folks, the Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors program is the right one for you. At first, it would feel so weird, it would feel you are left out but participate in events, help promote other people's event, have chats with other student ambassadors. You would find out they were once as clueless as you and are willing to help.
