118 students attended the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) Engage Event on Oct. 28 to discover how classroom learning transforms into real-world innovation. The event offered the opportunity to connect directly with researchers from GTRI and gain insight into the groundbreaking work happening across GTRI’s labs.
From defense technologies to data-driven research, students explored how they can make a tangible impact through internships and co-op opportunities.
For many, the event was both inspiring and eye-opening:
“It was wonderful,” said Marcus Murray, a Georgia Tech transfer student and civil engineering major. “I made great connections with several lab hiring managers and learned so much about the different projects happening at GTRI.”
A huge thank you goes out to all the GTRI teams, hiring managers, and coordinators who shared their expertise and career insights with students. And to every student who attended, your curiosity, enthusiasm, and engagement made this event a resounding success.
The GTRI Engage Event was proudly sponsored by the Office of Experiential and Engaged Learning (E2L) and GTRI, in collaboration with the Office of Undergraduate Education and Student Success (OUESS) and the Career Center. Together, these partners continue to showcase the power of experiential learning and the incredible opportunities that exist for students to grow beyond the classroom.
