Georgia Tech Visitation
On March 6, Georgia Tech’s transportation engineering faculty and students hosted myself and three other potential graduate students. The students of the program gave us a tour of campus and the Sustainable Education Building which houses the transportation labs and faculty offices. In the afternoon I had the opportunity to talk with five faculty members, including Dr. Michael Meyer and Dr. Adjo Amekudzi who I would likely work most closely with if this is where I choose to study. They ended the day with a casual reception, at which most faculty and students were in attendance.
I enjoyed the two days I was in Atlanta, and felt comfortable in the academic environment they have in the transportation engineering group. It was seven years since my last visit to this campus, when I came with my mother as a junior in high school. This was one school I had really wanted to attend for undergraduate studies, and I would have had I not received that phone call from Rafaella at NC State’s Park Scholarship office suggesting I apply to be a Park Scholar!
