Graduating Student Staff Member

Emily Winder

Major: Literature, Media, and Communication

What I learned working with conference services: Conference Services taught me how to assess a problem from every angle and quickly find a solution that benefits our guests and also upholds the values of the department. Sometimes a timely solution is more effective than the “best” or most creative solution and being able to distinguish when to act and when to take time to problem solve is a valuable skill to have. 

Other Involvement at Georgia Tech: Georgia Tech Marching Band, Undergraduate Research Assistant, GT Mentorship Programs, Ultimate Frisbee 

Favorite Georgia Tech Memory: Any time spent with the GT Marching Band, but my favorite memory is being a freshman in the band for the Miracle on Techwood Drive. 

Advice to Incoming First-Year Students: Get involved on campus. Having a community outside of the classroom and ways to decompress will help you to stay motivated and will also create relationships that will last a lifetime.

Tyler Rion

Major: Biomedical Engineering

What I learned working with conference services: The biggest thing I learned is to be ready for anything. You don’t necessarily have to be prepared for every possible situation but be ready to respond if a situation arises in a calm and informed manner to make things go as smooth as possible.

Other Involvement at Georgia Tech: Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity

Favorite Georgia Tech Memory: I really enjoyed working my first summer at Conference Services making lots of friends and learning how to react to some out of this world problems on the fly. On top of that I was improving my time management as well as just general people skills.

Advice to Incoming First-Year Students: Get involved in some way whether that is finding a club or fraternity/sorority on campus or even a job on campus (like conference services) to get you out of the house and getting to know people you might not have run into otherwise.
