Domain and Student Champions
Campus Champions programs include Regional, Student, and Domain Champions.
Student Champions
Student Champion volunteer responsibilities may vary from one institution to another and depending on your Mentor. Student Champions may work with their Campus Champion Mentor to provide outreach on campus to help users access the best advanced computing resource that will help them accomplish their research goals, provide training to users on campus, or work on special projects assigned by your Mentor. Student Champions are also encouraged to attend the annual PEARC conference and participate in PEARC student program as well as submit posters or papers to the conference.

Domain Champions
Domain Champions act as ambassadors by spreading the word about what XSEDE can do to boost the advancement of their field, based on their personal experience, and to connect interested colleagues to the right people/resources in the XSEDE community (XSEDE Extended Collaborative Support Services (ECSS) staff, Campus Champions, documentation/training, helpdesk, etc.). Domain Champions work within their discipline, rather than within a geographic or institutional territory.
The table below lists our current domain champions. We are very interested in adding new domains as well as additional champions for each domain. Please contact domain-info@xsede.org if you are interested in a discussion with a current domain champion, or in becoming a domain champion yourself.
