Mark Zuckerberg went back to Harvard on Monday on a recruiting trip, his first visit since he dropped out of the prestigious university to found social-media giant Facebook. Clad in his trademark hoodie and T-shirt, Zuckerberg told reporters, "This is a great time to come."
"There's a lot of really smart people here, and a lot of them are making decisions on where they are going to work when they graduate in the next couple of weeks," he said.
The university posted a slickly edited video on YouTube of Zuckerberg's outdoor remarks.
Zuckerberg quit Harvard and moved to California to found Facebook in 2004. The university's student newspaper, The Harvard Crimson, says he was back on campus for the first time since he left to recruit students for internships at Facebook.
Facebook is "just getting started," Zuckerberg said, according to The Crimson.
"The original goals for the company are to make it so that the whole world can be more open and connected. And you know the last five years have really just been about helping people get signed up and stay connected with their friends," he said, The Crimson reported. "But I think the next five or 10 years are going to be about all of these different products and industries that can be rethought."
