Inspiration is Everywhere

From Grayson, Georgia, 1st-year International Affairs and Modern Languages student, Henry Tharpe, immediately involved himself with Ivan Allen College as a first year, and with his prerogative, he is taking a deeper look and finding inspiration for the future.

“My favorite book series is Harry Potter, but not for the fiction, but rather for the deep literary analysis you can do on each passage. This translates into my love for current events too; I always ask why – what are the implications, why is this a strategy, or what are the political aims of something – and now I take that more into daily life,” Tharpe said.

This desire for a deeper connection has lead to separate actions in his life.

“I chose Georgia Tech because of Ivan Allen, because I like how at a large research institute I could still get the small college feel where I could know many people in my major and take classes with them and grow with them through the years,” he said.

So after settling in for the first semester, he took a step forward to join Ivan Allen more directly, through the Student Advisory Board, the Ivan Allen Ambassadors Program, and the Alumni and Career Development internship in Ivan Allen.

“I knew I enjoyed the Ivan Allen feel, so what better way to get involved than to get involved with that? I especially enjoy outreach because I want to share the gift of Ivan Allen with everyone,” he said.

Specifically, in his internship, Tharpe has realized that he was doing more than just work.

“Because a lot of people are just more focused on STEM majors and that seems to be the societal trend, I never really figured out what I wanted to do in the future, but that is not actually the case since there are so many interesting job opportunities that I see every day during my internship. I love seeing what alumni are doing, from working for the National Parks Service to NASA, and it is inspiring in a way,” he said.

Consequentially, curiosity has transformed into inspiration.

“We shouldn’t take things for surface value, but rather investigate before judging something, like a person or even just food. From my research here at Ivan Allen I’ve found possibilities which I never even knew existed, and that’s something special,” Tharpe said.

Why GT Liberal Arts?

We asked the GT Liberal Arts Community to share what they loved about Liberal Arts at Tech to spread positivity to our students, faculty, staff, and prospective students!

Check out their #WhyGTLiberalArts!

“The Ivan Allen College is the best of both worlds. You can get the intimate classroom and advising experiences of a small liberal arts college while having access to the vast resources provided by a world renowned research institution. If you’re looking for it, GT liberal arts has it!” - Audra, PUBP ‘20

“A faculty colleague who moved to another university — a major liberal arts one — told me two years later that she missed Georgia Tech.  Why?  “Because the liberal arts can’t be complacent at Tech;  something is always happening on the STEM side of campus that we need to study. They need us.”” - Dr. Barke, Public Policy

“I love being a part of GT Liberal Arts because of the people - everyone is so supportive of each other, and it’s easy to make friends within your major. Most of my closest friends from college have come from my major, and I feel such a strong sense of community with them that makes classes even more enjoyable.” - Grace, PUPB ‘21

“I personally love GT Liberal Arts because it’s a relatively small school with brilliant professors who really care for their students, but beyond that, the perspective of a Liberal Arts department at a tech school is unique; even while studying literature or other subjects very removed from STEM, there’s a certain eye for application and relevance that grounds the learning in a valuable way.” - Zohar, LMC ‘20

“I love GT Liberal Arts because it provides a comprehensive and broad education while always emphasizing the science and engineering principles that define Tech. The liberal arts professors here are more interesting and versatile than anywhere.” - Thomas, EIA ‘21

“I chose GTLiberalArts for its opportunities. Given the assets of GT being a STEM school, liberal arts students can have an unmatched experience.” - Maggie, LMC ‘23

“Liberal Arts at Georgia Tech combines technical and creative learning environments that give me well-rounded skills as I continue through my academic career towards my professional goals.” - Lindsey, ECON

“As a liberal arts major at Tech, I am combining my education with the newest technological innovations to better prepare myself for a world that revolves around technology.” - Bailee, LMC ‘22

#GT24,

Let us know why you are looking forward to joining Liberal Arts at Tech.

We look forward to welcoming the next generation of GT Liberal Arts to Ivan Allen College!

Career Opportunities at Tech

Hey! My name is Angelica Wagner, and I am a 3rd year International Affairs major and the Career Development and Events Coordinator (s/o Shadow Day) at the Ivan Allen College.

Did you know that each of our schools sends out weekly emails with internship and job opportunities specific to their majors? Pretty cool right?!

The only thing I think is slightly cooler is the Career RoundUp I send out to all of our IAC undergrads every other week. It has career opportunities for all majors and interests. Fashion? Environment? Game Design? Policy? You name it! That’s the beauty of liberal arts degrees: we are needed in EVERY company or organization. 

I also put in career development events from the Center for Career Discovery and Development (aka C2D2) like resumé workshops and mock interviews. I even throw in some unsolicited career advice articles! 

Career opportunities and resources are endless at Georgia Tech! Check some of them out and maybe you’ll find the job that’s right for you!

Georgia Tech Student Makes Life-Saving Bone Marrow Donation After Swabbing Her Cheek on Campus

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

A few seconds on Georgia Tech’s campus eventually led to a lifesaving bone marrow donation. During the Fall 2018 semester Sophie Heiman got her cheek swabbed on Tech Green, an organization called Be The Match was accepting samples on campus. On the way to her new co-op in Ohio, she received a call that she’d matched with a leukemia patient.

A vanishing edge pool (or infinity pool) is a swimming pool where water flows over the edge producing the visual effect of water with no boundaries. These pools are often designed so that the edge appears to merge with a larger body of water, or the sky.

“This campus provides a wealth of opportunities to put theory into practice,” he said. “LMC understands the symbiotic relationship of art and technology. There’s an emphasis on how the two fields serve one another to construct beautiful, compelling, and human experiences. There are so many opportunities, from 360-degree filmmaking to game design, for students to explore.”
