Hello Hive students and Alumni
One of the most interesting part of being a hiver is the fact that there are many engaging things to do. This space is packed with so much fun and good people. Not long ago, we announced our [collaboration with ecency](https://peakd.com/hive-109584/@hivestudents/hive-student-connect-ecency-collaboration). This collaboration brings a new beginning for hive students connect community.
Following the collaboration, we are glad to announce a new initiative, brought to you by Hive Student Connect and ecency. We love to name this collaborative effort, Surf The Waves initiative.
