Facebookis a social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. Users can add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about  themselves. Additionally, users can join networks organized by city, workplace, and school or college. The website's name stems from the colloquial name of books given at the start of the academic year by university administrations with the intention of helping students to get to know each other better.

Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes while he was a student at Harvard University. The website's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It later expanded further to include (potentially) any university student, then high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over. The website currently has more than 400 million active users worldwide.

Facebook joined AIESEC’s global partner network in February 2010. As our first official partner for graduate recruitment, this is an incredible opportunity for the network as members complete their AIESEC Experience. We are confident that Facebook will find the talent they seek among the experienced AIESEC members and alumni, and that AIESEC will benefit from these competitive and exciting opportunities to enhance our AIESEC careers
