College Student Recruitment

Through NFT-DAO I, Giezi Ordonez,  would like to create a blockchain club which would bring together different colleges in Colorado. This would involve networking with University officials and faculty to provided a blockchain internship to students at NFT-DAO or other DAO's who would be interested in participating. 

So far NFT-DAO has already built a relationship with the Center for Blockchain and Digital Innovation at the University of Wyoming and has onboarded two new students who have also created there own proposals. Link's here:

and there are more who are interested to join!

I have already made some progress with creating a relationship between Colorado State University and NFT-DAO. This has involved talking with faculty to push out newsletters to different clubs about what NFT-DAO, Cardano, and Project Catalyst are within the college of business as well as providing educational talks for heads of the CIS, CS, Marketing, and Finance departments.

Colorado State University
