Did BuzzU die?

Ah... I'm not looking for a mentor from BuzzU itself. I'm searching for College Student Mentors at my local universities, and wish to access their student database.

FYI, BuzzU's server provides a wonderful resource. It is home to the FIRST College Advisor Database. They set up a centralized location for *all* interested FIRST Alumni graduating from FIRST team High Schools anywhere to register their intent to still be involved in FIRST.

Those that register broadcast to the world their their interest in helping other teams, and how to get ahold of them. The database has the names & emails of FIRST alumni wishing to be mentors, sorted by the university they are attending.

THAT is what I need to access. There are several major universities in and around Ann Arbor, including the UofM's Engineering School, EMU's Industrial Tech Dept, etc.

I need leads on finding "FIRST addict" students at each of my local universities that desperately desire "another FIRST fix" and give them the chance to participate in FIRST again with a rookie local team. We could really use THEIR help to get our team started right. Role Modeling is important, and I'd love for them to come in and infect OUR team with "First Fever".

I was simply hoping to find them through BuzzU. Their server being down right now is just bad timing for me. I'm trying to reach them to let them know it IS down just in case they didn't know.

I hope it comes up again very soon.
