Hi Pooja! Thanks for raising this!
Just a quick note: we already have a Campus Connect Participant badge. It was added alongside the Credits badge.

Great initiative 🙌
Campus Connect events really need ready-to-use event kits (agendas, printing meterial design, promo assets) to support student organizers.

Hi Pooja, if you’re still looking for someone to review documentation, I would love to assist! Editing written materials is (weirdly) one of my favorite activities

  @katiejrichards, yes, we are looking for someone to review documentation – https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/education/
