This event is open to the entire Georgia Tech community! 

Featured Speakers

Sam Bolton, Keynote - Sam is a fourth-year Scheller Business student with a concentration in marketing and a minor in leadership and social justice. Sam will discuss how getting lost – whether literally and physically, or metaphorically lost in passions, hobbies, dreams - is a means to finding where you belong in the world, on campus, and most importantly, where you belong internally.

Mike Jones, Guest Speaker - Mike is an administrative professional with Georgia Tech Human Resources. Mike’s talk centers on the idea that presence is something we actively choose. Presence is a choice, and how you choose to show up can shape your opportunities, relationships, and sense of belonging.

Samiksha Digambar, Guest Speaker - Samiksha is a first-year undergraduate student in the College of Engineering. Samiksha reflects on her journey thus far on how to be present despite the fear of others’ judgment and self-doubt. Using her own personal stories, she describes how shifting the focus away from yourself and toward helping others has transformed the way she uses her voice.
