Calling the Class of 2020: Join DEV + GitHub for Graduation

Jess Lee - May 19 '20 - - Dev Community

Around this time of year, students across the world are typically celebrating the closing of a chapter — whether that’s from grade school, college, grad school, or anything in between and beyond. It’s a time of pride, reflection, and camaraderie amongst fellow graduates as they take the next step of their journey.

Because the pandemic has led to mass-cancellations of in-person graduation ceremonies and showcases, we're teaming up with GitHub for a community-wide celebration! On Monday, June 15th, we’ll be featuring final projects from the Class of 2020 all over the DEV platform and throughout our social channels. Additionally, GitHub is organizing a Class of 2020 Year Book and hosting a livestream graduation ceremony at 9:00 AM PDT, where they’ll highlight some of your projects shared on DEV. All year book participants will also get swag delivered straight to their door!

How To Participate

Step One: Share Your Projects

To qualify for extra swag, we’re asking graduates to go the extra mile and share their final projects or thesis with the community.

  • Use our graduation template to write your post.
  • You’ll see some prompts that are meant to get your ideas going, so please feel free to write everything in your own style! Be sure to include the #devgrad2020 and #octograd2020 tags.
  • PUBLISH YOUR POST! 😊

Step Two: Submit Your PR

Once you’ve published your post, you’re ready to submit a PR to the Class of 2020 Year Book.

  • Submit a PR with your name, school, photo, favorite quote, DEV post link, and GitHub username. Be sure to go through the entire PR checklist!
