On Tuesday, July 1st, Ignite held its first Experiential Speed Networking event at the Cypress Theater. As a tie-in to GT 1000’s Experiential Week, over 90 Ignite students connected with Academic Success and Advising (ASA), the Office of Experiential and Engaged Learning (E2L), and the Office of International Education (OIE) about resources and opportunities that will enhance their academic journeys at Georgia Tech.
Speakers rotated through eight tables where they had eight minutes to pitch their programs to students. Students took notes and asked questions about exploratory advisement, undergraduate research opportunities, study abroad, community-based learning, co-ops and internships, tutoring and academic support, and student innovation and entrepreneurship.
The event left students with a strong understanding of experiential programs offered by the Office of Undergraduate Education and Student Success (OUESS) and the Office of International Education (OIE) and how they can get involved.
