Amanda Ehrenhalt

Upon arriving at Georgia Tech, Amanda Ehrenhalt learned the difference between a great institution and a great community. There are many great universities, but not all of them provide the support to thrive that Tech does.  "I think what makes Georgia Tech special is that everyone is on their own journey doing such incredible things, yet there is still so much support for each student to succeed. The Yellow Jackets around me celebrate my successes, they push me to go further, and they propel me toward my dreams.  Because of Georgia Tech, I feel pride and promise that we can change the world.”
