DB2 on Campus Program  

The DB2 on Campus Program is a project designed to promote the use of DB2 in universities. The logistics and delivery of the program is performed between the DB2 Express-C team, and the local IBM Academic Initiative representative. The program consists of the following items and activities:

  1. A speech titled “The role of DB2 Express-C in the Information on Demand World”. This speech explains DB2 9 technology, with an emphasis on pureXML™, and encourages students to use DB2 Express-C, create university DB2 user groups, participate in the DB2 forums, and write documents about DB2. All of these activities can help them to advance their future careers.
  2. Introductory DB2 courses to obtain DBA and developer skills.
  3. Free DB2 books donated to the university library
  4. Free DB2 certification exams offered to the students

Universities, educational institutions, and even small/medium size businesses interested in having a person from the IBM DB2 Express-C Team deliver courses or speeches should send a note to db2univ@ca.ibm.com.

DB2 Student Ambassador Program  

The DB2 Student Ambassador program is a voluntary program designed to have students promote the use of DB2 at educational institutions. Students highly motivated in learning and using DB2 are invited to participate. Though the program is voluntary, it gives students a chance to learn more about DB2, develop presentation skills and marketing skills. All of these skills will be valuable in their careers. At the end of the program, the student will receive a letter of recommendation including all the details of the activities performed. The more activities performed, the better the letter of recommendation! We hope this will help the student get a job more easily in the future.
