  <title><![CDATA[School of Economics Student Abigail Burke Speaks at Commencement]]></title>

Economics and International Affairs, spoke at the afternoon&nbsp;<a href="https://commencement.gatech.edu/">Bachelor&#39;s Commencement ceremony</a> on Saturday, May 8th. She said she was motivated to speak because all four of her grandparents were attending, and her speech reflected on &ldquo;what has ultimately made my time at Georgia Tech meaningful.&rdquo;</p>

<p>After graduation, Burke will spend the summer working on a ranch in Colorado before starting a master&rsquo;s degree in social science of the internet at the University of Oxford.</p>

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
