I would like more information on what the campus ambassador's activities are on campus and also which are the 30 countries that Sun runs this program. If India is one of the countries then I would like to know how one can go about getting selected for a program like this?

Hi, This is Darren from Bombay. I'd like to know more details about this program and whether it is made available in India from the 130 countries. Also if yes, is it possible to be a part of it? Thanks.

Yes, we have India as one of the participating countries. Sun however is not taking nomination from individuals. Sun is in the process of contacting some selected colleges all over the country and is asking Faculties to nominate some of their best students.
