I can see the first slide, the other ones haven't loaded.

Sean should be Maná 2nd.

OK, so you.

OK.

There is.

Yep.

You should have to control the slides if you want to see all of them at the top right corner. You can hit CTRL slides.

OK.

But otherwise we should be good once it launches.

OK.

I think Sean is going to control the slides again.

OK.

Yeah.

Can you test your audio shine so I can make sure I hear you?

I can hear you.

Yep, it's clear to me.

Yep, test 121234.

Yeah, I can hear you.

OK, and then so will leave the video on for like introductions, just so they know they're like and then I'll take it down.

You froze just now, Sean.

Oh, sorry. So what I'm saying is will leave the video on just from the beginning so they can see me, but then I'll stop. I'll stop broadcasting video just so it saves on bandwidth.

OK, I think I get what you're saying, but you're freezing up again.

OK yeah, I'm sorry. Basically we'd start with video, but then will take video down to save on bandwidth.

Yeah, that sounds good and then just also make sure you are not connected to the VPN 'cause you don't need it.

Right?

Correct?

Do y'all need anything else for me?

We're good.

I think I'm good.

I'm.

OK, awesome. Well I'm gonna log off but if you have any issues.

OK, awesome, so you can message Shelby sure let me know and I can hop back in.

Cool thanks Julian.

OK.

No problem, have a good one.

Alright, see ya.

All right?

So Sean, for our interest, how long do you want those to be?

I mean we will get through this in time to do it.

Well, plenty of time so.

OK, so I'll introduce myself for a minute.

Yeah.

'cause we have 14 I saw.

Potentially.

Yeah, it looks like 14.

So it go ahead and let's go and test turning your video off and then like see me in the fight song or something. Let's see if your audio goes out.

'cause it still breaking up like it was last time.

OK, so I'll admit that I don't know the words to the fight song, but I can just keep talking gibberish and he can win.

A lot helping engineer do do do do do do do do do.

Yeah, sounds good.

Is that better?

So in the student students I will they just need black boxes that were the sea.

I have no idea, I think so I think maybe I'll let it because it's not going in and out right now. I'm not gonna mess with it, so I think I'll just be this disembodied voice and if they want to know what I look like they can. They can look me up online.

There you go, so I'll do the same. Then I'll go ahead.

OK.

That is funny.

Who who are these two weirdos that sit in the dark?

I forgot to take the webcam sticker off, right?

But not a lot better.

We should just mess with them like why can't you see this I don't know.

What's wrong with you? Yeah, good OK, uh, hey, I just took a look at the numbers that you sent about pending, uh?

Yeah.

Interdependent decisions about internships than moving virtually and things like that. So that's good information to have men.

Well, I tell you what they had it was. It was an interesting web. And are they?

Yeah.

Gosh, mean a lot of things just kind of waiting to see what May is going to be like and a lot of folks are going to make a decision either in middle of April early May. Something like that. So we're just keep updating the numbers as they come in. I mean, I see different things on these shifts a little bit each week, so we'll just try to stay on top of it.

Yeah, um.

Basically we had a meeting with the Dean Today, 'cause I think a lot of students drawn take summer courses and.

Yeah.

From the email we keep getting these students that are switching to a virtual environment that are like. I'm going to have more time so might as well take classes, but that seems like we don't have any money like we can add sections. We can add seats if the professors want to, but we're going to have to do some messaging like hey, if you have a virtual internship like you should just be happy with that and we really like you to consider dropping courses for this semester to let people that have canceled internship take courses.

God, that's a dilemma, cheese.

Yeah yeah. I mean if we have to start prioritizing those kids who get who's internships got cancelled.

Right?

So, but I I don't know how we're going to do that.

And I did man.

Yeah.

Well, we were working on that resource that Craig was talking about from the NBA side. They shared their content with us and standing there going to try to update that.

For more of an undergrad feel, and so we should get that out of being next week so that you all have it and the students you have an one of the situations in there that it brings up, which is really nicely worded is if your internship is you accept an opportunity but they were sent the offer. Was the email going to be to other employers?

Yeah.

That we were in the job market with before you accepted this offer.

Yeah, that's true.

So.

Well, we're not going to show video. I put a collared shirt on for no reason.

And what was so bad?

I put it back on it at.

I'm ready, sorry.

OK, good.

I looks like we got some folks coming in. We're just going to give it a couple minutes. My name is Sean Domer on the assistant director for student services for the undergraduate program. I think we had about 13 people signed up, so I see him popping up in my guest list. So just going to give it a minute and we'll get started. Make sure that everyone can connect and get on line.

We got a a good selection of states here today. New Jersey, Illinois, Delaware, South Carolina and of course, Georgia. That's always excited when we get different states to come in and.

And view our presentation.

Alright, let's go ahead and get started. So welcome to our virtual information session. Once again, my name is Sean Domer. I'm the assistant director for student services for the undergraduate program at the shelter College of business. So I oversee all of our perspective students and our current students. As far as academic advisor in and on the line with me is Michael Dutcher, who is a corporate relations manager, so I'll let Michael.

Introduced himself and and tell him, will tell you a little bit about himself and what he does for our office.

Thanks Sean, how everybody again? My name is Michael Dutcher, Corporate Relations manager with the Scheller College of business and I'm part of a two person career team and we focus on career services for the undergraduate population here at shelter and we do a lot of exciting things that will talk a little bit about today, but we're looking forward to sharing with you a little bit about how we get things done here at Shelor.

And then I'll be able to highlight a little more about the career piece little bit later. So happy all here today.

Thanks Michael, so just a couple of notes before we get started. First and foremost, we are so excited that you're here. Sorry that we can't meet you in person and that you can't come visit us down in midtown Atlanta at the College of business. It's just the situation that obviously no one could have known that this was going to happen six months ago as we kind of planned out our information sessions and tours. So I'm glad that we're able to connect, hopefully.

Uh, if you are admitted student I we will give you some information to help you make that decision on, uh, if Georgia Tech in the shower, College of business is the place to be. And if your perspective student third year in high school looking at your options were going to highlight some things that we do really, really good, hopefully you'll be able to come visit us in the fall under normal circumstances and we can show you around. But I I'm just going to give you some basic information about the College of business, about our program, about our staff, about the culture.

And community of the college and what we try to cultivate through our programs. You're not going to be able to see me. 'cause we did one of these on Wednesday, and it turns when we have the video on it gets very choppy. So I'm just going to be this disembodied voice over your computer speaker. But I am here. Don't worry about it. I am live, uh, if you have questions as we go along, we cannot hear you or we can't see you so you can go ahead and write those in the chat functionality within the room.

I I will, uh, at the end go back through all your questions and give you a time to write new questions if you have them. And then Michael and I will stay on and will answer any questions you have about the programme about college, about classes, about anything. Just one. Disclaimer is that Michael and I are not an admissions counselor, so admission to Georgia Tech is centralized. We don't have our own business admissions team, so if you have questions about applications or deadlines or fees were not going to know too much about that, so you would always want to go.

Back to your missions counselor or a representative of the admissions office for those types of questions. So I'm just going to start off and let out a few things that we think make shell are a great place to be. Sort of what makes this unique if you try to make these decisions on where to apply or where to go to college, and hopefully this will be helpful to you to make those decisions.

If you have questions that you don't want to put in the chat functionality, or you just want to follow up with me in a couple days or in a couple of weeks, or hey, you're laying in bed tonight and all I should have asked that question you get in contact with me. My name is Sean Shawn Domer DOMMER. My email address is my name Sean dot domer at Shelor SCHELLE r.gatechgatech.edu. Or if you just Google.

Sean, do more seller. My directory profile will pop right up and you'll be able to get my phone number in my email. Obviously my office is forward in all of those. Thank you Michael. Just put it up in the chat functionality. That's much better idea as well. My office phone number is forward into my house so I will be able to get back to you. Alright, just will quick an overview of our program, the Shutter College of business is on the campus of Georgia Tech. It is situated right in the heart of Midtown Atlanta.

There's a lot of cool things going on in midtown and will talk to talk about those a little bit better later on. The DSP program is within the College of business. All of our business courses are handled within the college. We have a great community. Because of that we are on the other side of 75 and 85. Those are the two highways that run through Atlanta. We have bridges over those highways. It creates this really cool atmosphere as you exit main campus and come to the College of business.

Where there are a lot of businesses, a lot of office space, a lot of cool things that are going on that will talk a little bit more. But we are in our own built-in so it creates this awesome sense of community. We've about 12150 business students at in the program and one semester dependent on that semester ranges anywhere from 225 to 1300 or 1225 to 1300. The program is set up that you can get out of it in four years. Do all of your credits two internships.

In a study abroad and still be able to graduate in four years, your core class size for your business courses. Those are going to be your internal accounting courses. Your internal marketing courses, who's about 49 when you get into the upper level, electives. Those 3004 thousand level courses. Those goes down to about 20 four and we have about 13 students. Each faculty member we have on staff. So like I said, it is really a cool experience that come to shower and experience the community.

All of the faculty in the Shower, College of business is in the building. They are on the 4th floor and then classrooms are on the 3rd, 2nd and 1st floor as well. So everyone sees one another in the hallways. It's very collegial. There's definitely a collaborative sense to the building, which is really, really cool. We're going to be sending out, hopefully in the next coming weeks. Sort of a virtual tour of our own that will show you some pictures of the building, and you can kind of get a sense of what the building looks like. We do offer the BS BA that's a bachelors of Science in business administration.

That is the only degree we offer. Uh, so our advisors, an our faculty know it pretty well. The reason we switched that we formulated a new program in 2011. We used to offer a Bachelor of Science just in management. We switched the business administration and some of the other schools you may be looking at offer specific bachelors programs in finance or accounting or market in. We stayed with a more generic business administration just 'cause we talked to recruiters and companies. We thought that it was going to be very advantageous for students to understand the breath.

Of business that they would understand how business works from a dizzy from the beginning of each process to the end of each process and to understand how different departments work together for the same goal. While it is a bachelors of Science in Business Administration, you're going to take the core forces to every subject we offer. You do get to select one of Seven concentration. So business major structure, concentration. You will take the intercourse is to all these you will learn the breath of this program.

You will know everything there is to know a introductory courses for these these fields, so you're 7 concentrations or accounted market in information technology, management strategy and innovation, leadership and organizational change, finance and operations, and supply chain management. So every student muscle, at least one of those. And what's the concentration? It means that you're going to have 18 credits or six courses of in Depth, High Level 3000 or 4000 level courses.

In these areas, and these are going to be taught by tenure track research factor faculty in these areas. So you'll pick six marketing courses and that will make up their marketing concentration. So while your bachelors will be in Business Administration, you have a concentration annual get depth in one of those areas. You can only do one concentration, but you can do certificates in all of the other concentrations that would allow you to sort of customize your degree. The good thing about the BS BA degree.

Is that In addition to your concentration, we give you 10 credits of free electives and six credits of nonmanagement electives free to use as you wish. So you work with your advisors. You work with faculty, you work with your internship experiences, and you figure out a way to customize your degree to get to your goal, right? So if there is a section or a field or a knowledge base or skill set that you want to develop, that will make you more competitive in a field. Or maybe you're just really interested in an area.

You can pick a certificate in any of these other concentrations. For example, a lot of our finance concentrations will get an accounting certificate to get more accounting skill sets and skills underneath them, or operations will do an information technology management certificate or like market in concentrations will get to a like a business analytics certificate because you can use those free electives twords certificates as you customize your degree will work with your advisor to identify your goals.

Your first year, second year you're gonna come in you gonna finish your Georgia Tech core. But you're gonna start taking those business core those introduction courses to accounting and finance and market in and then you'll talk to your advisor about hey.

You know what do I want to do when I get out? What sort of field do I want to go into? What type of job do I want? As you get work experience and Michael is going to talk a little bit about work experience in a little bit that will sort of also help you inform your choices and your curricular choices so some popular minors in certificates that students can obtain an add to the degree that technology management program. That is a very cool minor program. It is collaborative and interdisciplinary.

You have to apply to get in after your first or second year and what that is. It's actually two minors wrapped into one. You can choose engineering in business or computing in business. And what happens is you go in as a cohort so business students would go in with engineering students the first semester, the business students.

Take engineering coursework. The engineering students would take business coursework to catch everyone up to speed, and then they take courses together as a cohort, which ends up in a capstone in an engineering firm or engineering company where you actually are working on a real live business problem or project. So while you're obtaining this minor, you're also getting real world experiential learning and experience that you can talk about when you go for interviews or put it on your resume as well. Same thing with computing it would be business students in computer science.

Majors that would come together in a cohort and have the same experience as well. We also have the office of leadership studies, the study of leadership of what it is, how you implement it, what it means to individuals and organizations. You can get a minor in that language is a lot of our students are just very interested in languages they took several years of it in high school or middle school and want to continue it, or they have a career specific goal of working. For example, hey, I know I'm going to work at Coca Cola and they were very heavily invested in the Latin American market.

So may wanna Spanish minor to help me build my resume for a career goal that I would like some other certificates the Business School offers that aren't concentrations would be business analytics. How you gather big data, how you store big data, how you analyze big data, how do you use that to make decisions, entrepreneurship, business law and ethics and international business as well? There are several other departments on campus that will offer certificates like psychology, biology.

Um, there are a lot of different certificate options. You can also get outside of the College of business, especially if you're thinking about hey, I want to go to law school, but I don't want to do business law. Well then there's a law science and technology minor and a certificate as well. So there's several different ways that we can kind of help you customize your time at Tech. As far as our rankings go based on poets and Quants were in the number five overall public Business School in the United States for number one.

In Georgia, so this is some things that we do really, really well #4 for quantitative analysis. That's not a major. That's a skill, so we're going to teach you how to use numbers. How do you think quantitatively? Number 3 for management information systems, which is information technology and #7 and #8 in productions, operations management and supply chain management logistics. So that would be our operations and supply chain Department, which is one of our concentrations according to poets and Quants, were also the number one.

Public uh Business School. For career services and academic advising. Remember three overall. So there are two private schools ahead of us, but we're number one public that's both. My team. Ann Michaels team working together for academic advising, course selection, making sure that your courses align with your career goals, and then Michaels team working with Stan Broom. Who is the assistant director for undergraduate career education to make sure that we're teaching you the skills you're going to need to get the job.

That you want a build your networks. Build your resume and we'll talk a little bit more about that as well.

Out later on, just if your perspective student and thinking about applying, I would just want to make you aware of the Deans Scholarship program to be eligible. You do have to apply early action, so if you're on the fence about that, this may be something that influences your decision, but the Dean Scholarship program, if you apply early action, select few of those individuals will then be invited to come interview on campus sometime in February or March of next year with faculty, staff and alumni of the college.

To compete for Dean scholarship that can be up to $40,000 over four years. So you want to make sure that if you're going to be interested in that, that you would apply early action so that you can be considered for the Deans scholarship. So, like I said, We are Business School, so we are concerned about where you end up after you leave us. We didn't want to make sure that we were finding you akarere that you are prepared for that you enjoy and that brings fulfillment.

Uh, as you pay the Bills and hit your other goals that you have in life is whether that be supported with family or investments or whatever, and that's the will help you sort of identifying clarify those goals as you go along. Here at Georgia Tech. So we have a very cool setup for our careers. Georgia Tech has main campus career services called this Center for curve discovery and development, or C2D2. All students have access to that, and those are some fine folks that do some find programming. What we also have.

Is an in house two person team that consists of Stan and Michael. Here on the call that are really focused on helping us make sure that you are fully prepared for your careers, so they're going to work. Tyrus tirelessly to meet with you to teach you and also to develop those relationships with employers to make sure that those employers are getting in contact with you, whether that be via information sessions within the college, whether they're just going to put up a table in the atrium of the college to meet you guys.

Or the make sure that you guys are aware of when they're searching for internships. We basically will hoard our internship opportunities. We won't share them with main campus. We will put them on a job board that only business majors have access to. We will send you an email every Monday morning. Michael send an email that says, Hey, here's our new jobs. And here's our new intern. Ships typically on there we have about 3 full time jobs posted for every graduating senior per semester, and then we have four internships posted per student, so.

My comments and do a very good job of keeping that pipeline open and making sure that you're well aware of the opportunities that are available to you In addition to the employer relations side, they also work on their careers curriculum, and that's going to be kind of several different things throughout your years. Here at Georgia Tech, the first thing is our GT 1000 course, which is a first year seminar course that's offered through out the Institute, but the Business School has five or six sections that are taught by our staff, so they will be led by a career.

Uh, advisor or a academic advisor from the very beginning of your time here at Tech, we're going to be working on study skills, time management skills, how to layout your four year plan, how to fit study abroad, how to fit internships in co-ops into your four year plan. But we're also going to give you the skills that you need to go out and get those internships. So for your first semester, by the end of it, you're going to have a resume that our staff feels is ready to be handed to recruiters. Anne used on the job market.

You're gonna have a LinkedIn account and you're going to have the skills to use that LinkedIn account efficiently and effectively to do informational interviews to use your network to reach out to perspective employers to cultivate internship opportunities and then at the end of GT 1000, you're going to be ready to go. And we have a lot of first years that end up with internships in the summer. Definitely a lot of second years. I think it's 86% of our students, or 90% of our students will.

And that their time with us, but least one work experience before they graduate.

Um, that second year, uh, after GT 1000, we're really going to start working with you guys about your concentration choice, so using your experience is either in your leadership roles or your internships or co-ops to really kind of hone in OK, what are we looking at doing when we leave here? What's my concentration choice going to be? And then that third year we're going to get back into through development, so we'll take what we did in GT 1000 and we will build and expand off of that in your third year as you prepare for your job market, we will.

Take a look at your resumes. Again, will go more in depth about how you do informational interviews, how you build your network, how you conduct a proper and effective and efficient job search, and it's really cool. And Michael Talk a little bit more about that in a couple of minutes as well. And In addition to getting the completion of the two internships or Co op, that's not a graduation requirement, but it is really crucial when we're talking about you guys being on the job market that you have work experience to talk about.

On your resume, when you go in for interviews, um and everything like that, so, uh, who? Why do we do what we do? It's very simple because we know it works because we look at the data and we look at what we get back in the return on investment that our students get when they leave us the 2019. So this would have been last, spraying median salary, about $65,731 with a about $7400 for a signing bonus. So total compensation first year out of college.

$69,804.00 so that's pretty good in my book. 90% of our students will have a job offer at graduation. 90 three of them are going to have at least one internship experience when I leave, and those are really, really key because when you talk about paying for college and making sure that you guys are on the sound financial footing when you leave us, if you can get a job in a semester at the pace $23.00 an hour.

That's pretty good to help you pay for books and rent, or you know if those are covered by scholarships or because you've been saving yourself to be able to $23.00 an hour into a small market account to sort of help you when you graduate. That would be fantastic. The nice thing about what we do is where we are about 75% of the Fortune 1000 companies have a presence.

Atlanta at this point I would normally have you look at the windows of the classroom. We would be in and see all the different buildings that are going up around Midtown. All the cranes I would have you tried to find the Coca Cola building their head? Their global headquarters is basically on campus. It's across the street from tech tower and that's just a good example, but there are so many large companies that have a presence in midtown Atlanta and the College of business was built in midtown for that specific.

Reason so we have a lot of students that will do a part time course schedule. Will take 6 credits and then they'll do a part time internship so they'll take classes in the morning, then walk over the Coke or down to AT&T or down to Georgia Pacific to work in the afternoon. In their internship. We also have a lot of smaller companies that are around the College of business. The College of businesses in midtown Atlanta, which is just a incubator for entrepreneurial activity. There are so many shared work experience is there are so many incubators.

Uh, so many different ways that our students get involved in building their own businesses or their small business ideas.

Including what we called 80 DC, which is the official Georgia Tech sort of incubator that is a very cool program where students can pay as little as $25 per quarter and then they get access to 80 DC. They had access to mentors to their legal team to meet in space and then they help you build your business plan so you can go to ACDC and you basically hand over your plan. You give them some documents and you talk to them about your business. Idea is and then they would basically create this customized plan about how you go forward.

And what services you need to use out of them. So it's an amazing place. And then there's obviously all the third part of your private incubators that our students get involved with. So it's a very cool place to kind of see. Students interact with small businesses and large businesses and the other nice thing about Technology Square Technology Square is what we call the area where the shelter College of business is located. If you are familiar with it or have visited, you know that right next door, the coda building just.

Open, that is a building that is 1/3 large businesses a third small businesses third Georgia Tech which is meant to do a lot of collaboration. Alot of students will get internships or have work experience in that building. And then of course a lot of different student housing is also popping up next to the College of business. So we continue to kind of expand our community and give you guys some great opportunities to get work experience next to coda. Norfolk Southern is relocating their headquarters, so that's going up as we speak.

And next to them, anthem is relocating their headquarters, so within a three block radius you will have the College of Business Dakota building and two headquarters for major companies. So a lot of different opportunities for students to get work experience. The other nice thing is, on the other side of shell are not on the coda side, but the other side right now to the parking building they're going to plow that under in the next year, and they're going to build 3 towers, and that's going to be a collaborative space between.

Business, uh industrial engineering and economics and public policy. So you have a lot of Interdisciplinary Studies, a lot of different interdisciplinary teams that can come out of that which is really, really exciting. For those of you who are going to come to us with the next one year or two years to see that, grow and.

And basically the seeds are planted right now and that will that will come to fruition over the next couple years. As far as our graduates, we send graduates to all over the country and all over the world. New York City, Chicago, Lana Seattle, Austin, Dallas, Minneapolis, Saint Paul. I mean you can name every major city in Georgia. Tech is going to have a present, an alumni group in those cities, but just some recent graduates, Leo went up to block Black Rock in New York City.

Turn state in Atlanta. It worked at Accenture and then Shane Meredith an urf. Ron ended up in New York City and Chicago as well. So we are preparing students for careers in many different fields in many different locations and the shelter community and the shelter. Alumni base continues to grow even outside Atlanta. We know we're doing a good job because if you look at our return on investment, we know that they're going to pay a Georgia Tech College of business student a little bit more.

Other than the national average for business students as well, so we take that very seriously. We take our goal to help you as a student grow both as a person isn't professional very seriously, and I think the numbers sort of speak for themselves in what we do. I'm going to invite Michael now to pop on an cover. Anything I may have missed, or just talk a little bit about what makes the career team sort of unique at shelter.

Yeah, thanks Sean. Um, the big thing to think about when it comes down to.

Coming to the show, College of business is really thinking about how intentional focus we are on your success. One of the nice things I think about a fellow student is that you guys really go in a lot of different directions just to kind of give you some perspective on where students end up going. I will never tell you exactly what company you work for what I'd rather do is give you the tools necessary to pursue the different career path that you're passionate about. In 2017 2018 we had 380 people graduate from the shelter College of business.

And they went to over 240 different organizations and I think that kind of speaks to the culture of what it's like to come to showers. We will give you the tools that you need to follow your different passions in different career paths within the careers that you're interested in. Another interesting thing about Sheller is we talked about that career class. This is required for junior year is a fantastic opportunity to build on all the different things that have made you successful so far. One of the interesting things about students when they come to the College of business.

Is a lot of them are very focused on certain direction they want to go into and a lot of them are also trying to figure out what direction do I want to go into and one of the nice things about it from the career direction as we encourage you to explore and Claire encourage you to do informational interviews with a wide variety of different visuals. Whether it's an alumni that's working in the field that you're interested in or is a VP at the company, that's one of your target organizations and even getting involved with the student group organizations that we have here at Shelor helps you explore the wide variety of different directions you can take.

Uh, with a career in business, one of the things we always like to focus on is every organization in the world will hire business graduates and so that's a fantastic thing about going into the business world. Is the skill sets that come along with this area focus really are usable in any different industry that you're interested that you're interested in, and so keep that in mind as you're going through one fun thing that I'll say about the psychology businesses typically has the reputation of being one of the happiest places on campus.

Uh, an I really believe that's true because from the student perspective we are passing about what direction you're going to take. We are interested in hearing about your successes about obstacles you run into, and how can we help you tackle those different things. And keeping in mind that on top of that we even with that career class one nice thing is when you graduate from the shell ecology business, you have gone through at least 14 hours of quality career development. This focused on you giving yourself credit when you get in front of the employer. One of the big things we try to harp on is how do we make sure that when you get in front of the employer that you're interested in?

You come up with the right content at the right time to that right audience that you're interested in. An installer college business. We really believe that we have the tools to help you do just that.

Yeah, absolutely thank you Michael. And you know, I I used the word community a lot because because it is so. Michael mention a little bit about getting involved in student organizations and there are a ton of student organizations on campus, but specific business organizations that you can get involved with would be shelter, business ambassadors.

Uh, shelter women in business. The management Information Systems Club, the consultant club, the consultant for social good club, the American Marketing Association has a chapter. There is an undergraduate operations and supply chain club. There's just so many things that you can get to join or become a part of. That's part of the community. There's going to be a lot of times you walk into the human. We're just going to have Donuts or pizza or or something just to kind of build community and get you guys talking with one another.

To build that community because there's going to be students out there that have an answer to the question that you have and if we can build that relationship with current students or peers or advisors or career advisers, then that's definitely something that's going to help you. We want to help you crowd source your questions in your advice and make sure that you're thinking about everything to build up to the point where you graduate. But then you also have a useful degree that's going to help you achieve your goals that you want to have in life.

Uh, and when we talk about what our focus is and what we want our students to do, it's Real Simple. Get good grades, you know bees and above at a top University. If you come to Georgia Tech or at a Top University, you don't gotta get straight A's, but good grades are necessary. Complete two internships or Co op internship VN A1 semester commitment to the company that you work for them. A Co op is actually three semester commitment to accompany. So if you call up at Delta.

You take classes in the Fall Co op in the spring classes in the summer coop in the fall and then.

Finish up your classes in the spring so it's a three semester commitment and then I'll get involved on campus and get leadership experience those leadership experiences on campus. You don't have to be president of every club that you join, but we definitely want to take leadership roles or opportunities. It doesn't have to be for a whole school year. It could be you lead a.

A blood drive that your student organization is doing or something like that, but that leadership experience on campus is crucial for your resume but also in your interviews when companies are going to be asking you about a time that you let a group or a time, something didn't go right, and you had to reconfigure thing so getting those soft skills developed in the clubs and organizations and taking leadership roles is really, really important, the other. I spent about Georgia Tech and shelter college businesses that we care about our teaching quality. So, just to highlight a couple doctor, Debbie Turner, she's an accounting professor.

She gave up research years ago to focus on teaching. She's by far and away the most popular professor here at Shelor, and her ratings were in the show that, but she's also taking on the mantle of teaching. The other faculty how to teach, so she will run workshops and make sure that our faculty is up to date on the latest research and pedagogy and how you deliver lectures or material to courses. So she's a fantastic example for the faculty.

And then doctor Jonathan Clark, who used to be the associate Dean of undergraduate programs before he stepped down from that role has been recognized as an outstanding teacher. We've received an A. Plus, from business week for teaching quality and I know that the associate. Dean reviews every comment and every rate in from the course surveys at the end of the semester. So something that we take very, very seriously. I've sat in the meetings as they discuss those things and I know how seriously they take teach it at shelter College of business. I mentioned a little bit.

About the technology and management program, that's not the only place you will come into contact with technology. It is woven within your degree both from the Institute level in the college level. the Institute is going to require you to take at least one computing course before you graduate and then a lot of our technology is interwoven within our curriculum, so our foundational courses are going to teach you not just the theories and concepts of business, but the technologies. As far as like the Microsoft suite like Excel.

A customer relations managers database. Those skills are going to be found in the foundational courses. So when you get to the upper level, you can use those skills to actually do some real hands on experiential learning. In real software programs or point approaches systems or different supply train supply chain tracking systems as well, we have a fully operational trading floor. What is that? That is on the 4th floor of our building. It is a very cool classroom.

Where the professor can basically use software and hardware that can mimic or recreate stock market conditions to help you understand investments and trade in, and then they can basically simulate different market factors so that you could figure out what you would do and what your company's response to these market changes would be. And it's a very cool building room and a very cool simulator as well.

Also, as I mentioned that are for your program is really designed so that you can make sure you get your work experience. Get your coursework and then you can do a study abroad program if that's something that you would be interested as well. Most of our students will do their study abroad, either the summer of their first or second year. Alot of our students will do several different programs that have a good amount of business courses that are offered. For example, this is Courtland. Last summer he went to the Eastern European study abroad for social good.

So that's running out of our uhm institute for leadership and social impact used formally known as the Institute for leadership and entrepreneurship in fact it change its name just yesterday so you're the first presentation that I am doing that uses its new name but they go over to Eastern Europe and they help small companies or nonprofits get up and run in or whatever project they're working on that they need help with they go over it they take 9 credits in leadership course work and then apply that leadership to these small companies.

And nonprofits, some other popular programs for business major specifically is the Oxford Program. That's usually done in their first year. You go over it to Oxford in England for six weeks, and you take some of your courses, like Neil aspects of business or information technology, and then you then take six weeks of your humanities, which is usually history of art or the history of like symphonies or music. And then instead of just sitting looking at paintings in the classroom in the basement of a building in Atlanta, GA.

You are studying the Mona Lisa in the Louvre or you are going to the Vienna Symphony in there in Vienna in Austria and going through your history of music class through those prisms and those lenses. So it's very popular. The fastest growing exchange program we have is with Coney in Milan, Italy. They have a Business School that has a lot, of course is that we will take back so a lot of students will go to Milan, Italy first semester and study Hong Kong.

Um Brazil Uh?

Argentina um all different places where students go. This is a map of where business students specifically were last summer, so Mexico, Ecuador, Argentina, Uruguay, Way Australia, china and then a lot in the European Union. So a lot of different options for you guys to get that global perspective. We can also if you want to work abroad, that's a little bit tougher than just studying abroad, but we do have some resources and will help you along your way if you're interested in a global.

Internship as well?

Yeah, I think I mentioned this before. I just want to come back to it because the number one question that I will get asked from perspective or admitted students well, what makes you different from so and so place or what makes you different from this program and the number one answer. I always give them is just our location. We are in the heart of the Atlanta business district so we're connected to campus but they were connected to the heartbeat of the economy. That's going on in Atlanta, which is just really thriving.

Were the number one city for availability of internships, number one? That's for startups that isn't New York City or San Francisco were a very affordable big city. We have everything that a big city would offer as far sports and arts and culture and businesses. So we have a lot to offer. That's the number one thing that I taught students about is just work experience for a business student is so crucial and so important for their future success. And just where we're located in what we do.

Uh, just lends itself to make that as easy as possible. The other thing is that we're really striving for school and life balance. We like I said, We are committed to those three buckets. The good grades at a good University work experience, and that leadership roles on campus. So obviously we want to put your coursework and balance with the other things that you want to do to make you a whole person. So we're going to be focused our advisors on your holistic development, right? So hey, how do we figure out a four year plan that allows you to do a mission trip or?

To take this great opportunity to go be an intern at the Georgia Legislature. Or, you know, I think we have a park Ranger in Alaska. 1 one summer. We definitely want to make sure that you guys are building and cultivate in a life that includes not just your professional role but your your personal growth as well. So we were definitely committed to that.

Uh, aspect of everything. So that is the end of my presentation. I just want to mention one thing, real quick. Uh, you can follow us on Instagram obviously were doing this information session and then our website is all professional pictures and everything is very very polished. But our Instagram account if you're on Instagram you can follow us at Shelor underscore undergrad. There's a lot of cool things on that. We will post things not just related to information about our advising or career team, but sometimes we do student profiles or allow some alumni to do a takeover and our stories.

So that will give you a good sense of what it's like to be, uh, in shelter as a student. Also, we're going to work on some resources over the next couple. Weeks were working on the ability to get our student ambassadors, so these would be current students up on our website so you could email them and talk to them based on their concentration or their work experience.

Obviously talking to current students is a great way to understand how shelter is. So Michael, I will stay on the line. If you have any questions, please put them in the chat box and we will answer as many as we can. As good as we can.

Michael did I. did I miss anything that you wanted to expand on?

I think he did. Awesome job Sean. Uh, you know. Just keep in mind you know for employers they understand the value of a shelter graduate. They understand the value of a seller student for the job postings, an internship, postings that we receive, a lot of those come directly to the office from the standpoint of employers want to recruit, attack employers have a tradition of always coming back to recruit because of the legacy of the previous interns had left.

One of the things I think is always interesting is trying to figure out what to graduates from a University do with their degree, and so 1 highlights that I'll put out there is, if you're already on LinkedIn, go ahead and look up Georgia Tech on LinkedIn and you can see what our alumni are doing. They'll post on their profiles, different internships they've had, the different direction taking their careers. So I encourage you to check that out.

Thanks Michael. We do have a question that came in that says do you have a dual degree program at Georgia Tech that combines computer size and finance? The short answer is yes, you could get it dual degree in business administration with a finance concentration. An also degree in computer science. You'd want to definitely talk with your academic advisor about that.

In regards to return on investment, usually that bachelors of business is not going to help you if you're going to go straight into the computer science field at an entry level position. So the investments that return on the investments not there. What we would probably do is talk to you about whether or not it would make sense just to kind of focus on that CS degree. Go out, get a couple years experience in the CSS field, and then come back or go to a different school for your Masters of business in this administration or your MBA. Or we offer like a quantitative finance Masters program as well.

Which might be a dependent on what you wanted to do with your your career track, but yeah, dual degrees kind of depend on, you know how much money is going to cost, how much that's going to great delay your graduation, how difficult it would be to do a couple different degrees at the same time. But yeah, you can get a double degree, can have up to two majors at Tekken two minors as well so that option is available for you as well. Are there any specific classes you recommend taking in high school for the business?

Program nothing specific. There are no specific courses that were looking for as far as uh, admissions or anything like that. I would say that if you were, uh, just the way the markets or trend in an just the way the business world is going. If you're high school offers, you know courses on computing or account in or even Microsoft Excel building those skills very early on is going to definitely help you in your classes when you get here.

Uh, especially when you start talking about one of our first level courses is management statistics and then quantitative analysis. And that's going to be very Excel heavy. So if you do, if your high school does offer those courses, those may be interested not from an emission standpoint, just from a skill building standpoint.

Um sure can I go back to one of the slides where it talks about how many students there are absolutely about 12150 students. That's undergraduate students at the College of business, about 12150. That's kind of fluctuate every semester depending on who's doing an internship or who graduated, or other factors like that, but it's between 12:25 and 1300 students each semester.

When I take GT1000 again with Sheller, if I take GT1000 at ignite, Sarah says the answer is yes and no. So that, uh, you want to be able to retake GT 1000. We were working on a series of workshops or some sort of programming for our ignite students. So ignite is our summer program for those on the line. You don't or not familiar with that term. So what would happen is they go in and they take a GT1000, which is our first year seminar.

But that would not be business specific. So then we're going to come up with programming in the fall for our ignite students that will catch them up on our career piece of things. And whether that's one on one meetings with academic and career advisers. Whether that's workshops, whether that's going to be online videos and modules you can complete, we will have something for you.

Now give me a couple more minutes if you got questions, type him into that chat and functionality.

Sure, so the question was can you elaborate a little more on the computer and management minor? Absolutely so the technology management program is sponsored by a gentleman named Steven Dennen. So it's called the den and technology and management program. And that's going to be within the College of business. It is a selective program, so students in their first or second year you have to complete it. By the time you graduate. So it's a four semester program, so the students in their first or second year would apply to get into that program. And if they are selected, they have.

Two different options, so they have engineering and business in computing and business. So what's going to happen in that? I'll stick to compute in management or computing business. Then you would then go over and take introduction to CS courses. So obviously you would have to get your interactive computing course out-of-the-way object oriented program in you would do that on your own. They would give you a permit into those courses and you would get foundational skills and computing. And then you would join your cohort so it would be roughly half business students, half computer science majors.

And then you take courses like emerging technologies.

Developing technologies for emerging markets.

Let me actually look up specifically what those courses are before I, because I think they recently changed in a couple of semesters ago and I can't remember the old program, but I don't know if I remember the new program, but you as a cohort, so that means you're taking these courses in. These courses are going to be only consist of the students win, then that program. There's not gonna be any outside, so you'll be working with this team and you will be with that team for your final two years at tech. So yeah, so the.

Yeah, so you would take analysis of emerging technologies, managing product service and technology development. You take data manipulation for Science and industry into object oriented programming and objects and design. Those would be your computing courses and then you would work together as a team and then you do a capstone project. So you for example they would put you in Siemens and you would develop a new software or work on a project as a business and computing team that had to work.

On this computer project to accomplish a business goal or solve a business problem. So the if you just type in technology and management shell are in Google, it will take you to their website and you can look at the curriculum and then you can get in touch with their staff. Ann Lynch is going to be their communications manager and that would be someone that you may want to email For more information as well. If you do come this sheller Ann, you are interested in that. There will be several information sessions that they put on in your fall semester.

Before the application period for that program opens up in October or November, so you'd be able to talk about that, or talk to them about that on campus. If you're not coming to your third year in high school I would look up Ann Lynch and get in contact with her. Or if you get in contact with me, I'll put you in contact with her.

Are certificates viewed as minors?

Can I earn a minor Anna Business certificate? Uh, sure, yes, so uh, let's let's break those down. Certificates are not viewed as miners that at an Institute level, Georgia Tech will track minors. Your miners will be on your transcript. It will be part of your record. The certificates are handled at the college level and they will not be on your transcript. So we will give you a certificate at the College of business and you will have it. But it will not be under transcript. Miners are 15 to 22 credits so it's a little bit more.

In death certificates tends to be 12 credits, so that's only four courses, so certificates or four courses, minors or five to eight courses. So the depth in the minor is a little bit more minor sense that basically, hey, I've taken upper level coursework, 15 credits or more in this area. It gives you a little bit more depth. Certificate is just a great way to group your free electives together to say like hey, I use my free electives towards finance and I have a little bit more adept in a certain skill.

Or, uh.

Intellectual field or area you can get a minor so you can get two majors.

Two minors and his many certificates as possible that something you'd want to talk about with your advisor. You more than one or two certificates may be overkill, especially this delay in your graduation and not adding a lot to your market value when you get onto the field as well. So yeah, hopefully that answers your questions.

About minors in certificates.

And we'll talk about if you come shower. You know we talk about minors in certificates in GT 1000 and you work with your.

Um, your academic advisor. Throughout your first semester to identify your goals and certificates, and I'll be honest, most people come in with, hey, I want to get two minors in three certificates, and they graduate with a concentration in the certificate and a lot of work experience. So we definitely want to make sure that our curriculum choices are focused on the end goal.

Couple more minutes, see if anymore questions come in.

As we're waiting on your screen, that is Ernest Sheller, so he is our namesake. He is an amazing man that is also his wife, Roberta.

Next to him, that is from the weekend they gave us their first donation. They donated $75,000,000 to the college that was so nice. We named it after him. That's the least we can do. He is then now just donated. I believe another 25,000,000 to the college. So one of the towers I was talking about one of those three towers that will be interdisciplinary. We named after him as well. So he is the nicest, nicest man you'll ever want to meet. You would not know that he has a hundred $1,000,000 to throw around to us, but he came to those with a very specific mission and just said.

You need to take my money and make sure the number one Business School in the country so we were trying to do that desperately over the past 10 years. Since that initial donation came in Seven years since that initial donation came in, we've risen up the Rankins. We've hired new faculty. We've invested in our degree, in our staff and our students, and it is just a very special place to be.

Alright, so I haven't seen any new questions pop up in a couple minutes. Um, so I'm gonna log off. Oh, here we go.

OK, Martin can't wait for next year tech. Alright? Well we are excited that you will be with us and we can't wait. Obviously kind of a hectic time so I want to make sure that everyone is staying safe again. If you have any questions you didn't want to ask please email Maine. We're very excited. We were very exciting. What we're doing now and making sure that students are continue to take classes and get an advisor in. And Michael and standard working really hard to make sure that students have.

Uh, access to internships and work experience through all of this, we were very excited, hopefully to get back in the fall. If you're coming back to us and will be there, we were excited to see you. If you are a third year high school student, please come and see us come to one of our information sessions. Come to one of our tours, get a feel of what it's like to be a campus and it sheller. It's really cool place. Last question was will be recorded? Yes, so will the recording of this session be available?

Uh, yes, uh, we should be able to email. You were gonna have a landing page for all perspective in the middle students that should have access to this. We recorded one on Wednesday and recorded one on today and will use the better recording. I have a feeling it's going to be this one but yeah you have access to it. Don't worry.

All right, everybody. Thank you so much for being here again. Contact me if you have any questions. I'm really sorry that you have to do this in the current environment. Hopefully it doesn't last long. Stay inside, stay safe. Email me any questions alright?

Well thanks go jackets.
