| '''Background and Re-launch'''
| |
| <br>
| |
| The Mozilla Student Reps program was largely dormant for two years, lacking resources necessary to support members and grow. In 2011, a Community Manager for Students was brought on to gather feedback, re-launch the program, and coordinate its activities going forward.

| With its official re-launch in December 2011, Mozilla Student Reps will build on its [[ReMo/Student_Reps/History|previous success]] as well as expand to support even more contributors and projects in the future.
