My gut likes the idea. (but I tend to be biased in favor of community-building, fun, complementary things)
The two concerns that leap to mind are:
How to prevent this from simply being a popularity contest? What criteria would the voting/selection be based off of?
Would this simply end up rewarding people who have been lucky enough to be born in the right place, or to have chosen the right college major?
I suspect that there are ways to avoid these stumbling blocks, but I don’t know enough about the context/field/area to know what they are. Overall, I’d like to see people explore it and see if it would be workable.
