Why Ivan Allen?

Hi there! My name is Lydia Wiederholt. I am a second-year Public Policy major from Atlanta, Georgia. Because college decisions are coming up, I figured I’d talk about why I committed to Georgia Tech.

My freshman move-in day

I knew for a long time that I wanted to study some field within the humanities so when I announced that I would be attending Georgia Tech, many of my friends and family were slightly confused. They only knew of Georgia Tech's engineering and STEM reputation and had no idea about the liberal arts opportunities offered here. Even though liberal arts isn’t the main focus of the Institute, I believe the STEM reputation only strengthens the Ivan Allen College. The emphasis on technology and innovation is incredibly important in our ever modernizing world. Almost no modern careers are completely devoid of technology, and just being surrounded by the diverse range of engineers and scientists on campus gives you a unique perspective that few other universities can offer.

Concert in Atlanta

As someone from the Atlanta area, I worried that college wouldn’t be different enough from my high school experience, but two years in, I can safely say that I've never felt this way. Georgia Tech is its own place, and I gain new experiences every day. From museums to live music to Piedmont Park, Atlanta has so many cool things to do. Even with Covid-19 restrictions, I often find myself exploring new parts of the city. I have recently gotten into hiking and exploring the many beautiful natural areas just outside the city.

The most influential reason for me choosing Georgia Tech was its size. Georgia Tech is a large research university with hundreds of clubs, world-class facilities, and countless research opportunities (yes, even for liberal arts students), and as an Ivan Allen student you have access to all these amazing resources. So far, I have looked into increasing voting rates for college students through the VoterTech Vertically integrated program, represented Ivan Allen as an Ambassador, and broadcast music live on-air every week as a radio operator at WREK Radio. However, there is an added bonus. Because Ivan Allen is a small college within the Institute, my class sizes are small (usually around 22 people) and I have close relationships with my professors. These strong connections were what I most looked for in a school, and I’m so happy Georgia Tech was able to give them to me in addition to all the other awesome resources on campus.

I hope these insights will help you with your decision this spring. Thanks for reading! -Lydia

Tips for de-stressing during finals season:

Finals can be incredibly stressful, especially when it feels like all of them are due in the same week. Here are a few tips to de-stress before, during, and after finals to ensure your success!

1. Study, don’t cram

Take your time to really go through your notes, past quizzes, or other study material. It’s really important to take your time to study and not cram right before the test. Cramming can make you much more stress than you would be if you just took it a little bit at a time and look through your notes at your own pace. This is really helpful in retaining information and ensuring that you are prepared for your test while also being less stressed!

2. Don’t procrastinate

When you’re getting started on your exams try not to procrastinate getting started, especially if it is a take-home exam. It can be really easy to wait until the last minute to start your exam, because you might feel like you can get it finished in time, but this can make you a lot more stressed than. So go ahead and get started! You have so much time to really think through your answers, don’t waste it!

3. Take breaks throughout

Don’t be afraid to take breaks in between answering questions especially when it’s a take-home exam. Right now especially, we all have a good amount of at home papers and exams, so there’s a lot more free time. Start on your Final and take a breather if you start to feel overwhelmed, then come back to it when you feel ready.

4. Go for a walk

Light exercise can help clear your mind right before or in between exams. Take time to go for a walk to get ready for your next test!

5. Get some sleep

Don’t forget to get some rest. Your brain works best when it has had some sleep. Do yourself a favor, don’t cram the night before and stay up all night, rather take your time studying so that you can get some rest and then start your exam the next day!

6. Eat a balanced diet

This one is so important, make sure you are eating during finals week! Sometimes it can be really easy to get caught up studying or taking your exams, but remember it’s important to eat three meals a day, and also to ensure that you are fueling your body and mind with nutritious foods.

7. Accept that you’ve done your best

When you’ve finished an exam, accept that you have done your very best. Take a breath, and realize that you’ve done everything you can to be successful in this class. You have put in so much effort, not only into this exam, but also in learning this material, and if nothing else, you have gained some new, valuable knowledge!

What are some tips you use to de-stress during finals? Leave a comment below to share your tips with others!

Hi! I’m Josette, and I’m a 4th year Public Policy Major and International Affairs Minor. I’ve loved my time at Tech for many reasons, but a big part is the location. Of course, COVID-19 has made it much harder to explore the city, so I often find myself reminiscing about my favorite places in Atlanta. Think of this as a list of things to look forward to once conditions are safe!

Things to do

There are tons of things to do in Atlanta when you’re not in class or doing homework. One of my absolute favorite spots is Piedmont Park. It’s the perfect place to take a walk, have a picnic, or enjoy a festival. BONUS PERK: In public policy we have a capstone course where we do research for a client. My client is the Piedmont Park Conservancy! Only in Atlanta 😊.

There are also some hidden spots around Midtown. For example, the Federal Reserve has a museum in its Atlanta branch just north of campus. I visited it last year, and it’s impressive. The whole thing is interactive, you can watch the money machines, and it’s free!

Just south of campus, there’s plenty to do as well. The Georgia Aquarium, World of Coke-Cola, Center for Civil and Human Rights, SkyView Ferris wheel, and Centennial Olympic Park are all about a 10-20 minute walk from my dorm. Some of them have great student discounts or are free on your birthday. Another bonus, the Center for Civil and Human Rights was my polling place, which made voting easy! I could walk there, vote, and be back at my dorm in half an hour.

If you’re adventurous, getting familiar with MARTA, Atlanta’s public transportation system, is a must. The light rail system can take you north to the High Museum of Arts and Lenox mall or south to the airport for easy flights home. There are two stations near Tech, Midtown and North Avenue stations, so you’re never too far. Plus, the Tech Trolley will take you to the Midtown station all day.

Events

Because Atlanta is a big city, there’s always events going on. Tech’s very own Student Center Programs Council puts on events all year. Some of my favorites are the GT Six Flags night, GT Night at the Georgia Aquarium, and the Homecoming concert (all of which have reduced ticket prices). There’s also a ton of concert venues near campus, and a lot of artists include Atlanta on their tours. If you’re into professional sports, Atlanta United, the Falcons, and the Hawks all play close to campus, and the Tech baseball team plays at the Braves stadium about once a year. Atlanta has also hosted big events like the Superbowl and the Olympic Marathon Qualifiers. Of course, there’s tons of festivals and parades too!

Places to Eat

If you’re a foodie, I have good news for you. Atlanta has delicious and authentic restaurants for all types of cuisine. You can always go to Tech Square and the surrounding area, which features cheap but tasty counter-service places. There’s also some great restaurants on the west side of campus, including a ramen shop, popular brunch spots, and gourmet ice cream. Walk south of campus, and you can visit Broad Street, the Atlanta business world’s lunch spot, with unique mom and pop counter-service places. If you or a friend have a car, you can venture out to Krog Street, Sweet Auburn, or Ponce City markets for trendy food and boutique shopping. For nights when you have a little extra time, I highly suggest making the 20-30 minute trip up to Buford highway for authentic foods from all over the world.

A note on Safety

You may be worried about the safety of a school in the center of a big city. But Georgia Tech’s campus is really insulated from the rest of Atlanta. The campus police department is friendly, approachable, and always around if you need help. Around finals season, they give tired students rides home from the library. Our blue light system means you can see an emergency call box from anywhere on campus. In my four years at Tech, I can’t remember a time I felt unsafe on campus. Off-campus, of course, be safe, travel in groups at night, and stay alert. But honestly, my experience has been really positive.

What it’s like navigating a virtual internship during a pandemic:

Hi there! My name is Chloe Thomas, and I’m a third-year International Affairs and Spanish Major with a minor in Global Development. Back in the beginning of 2020, I decided that I wanted to take a small break from taking classes and pursue a full-time internship. I applied to a handful of internships relating to area of my interest, and I ended up accepting an internship for The Carter Center (TCC), which is former President Jimmy Carter’s foundation.

When I found out that I received an internship for The Carter Center I was ecstatic. However, I learned this news in July, in the midst of the pandemic. I wasn’t sure what being a full-time virtual intern for The Carter Center would be like in the middle of a pandemic, but I knew that the experience would be beneficial to me in the long run. I was up for the challenge.

In the middle of August, I moved back on to Georgia Tech’s campus, and I started my virtual internship. After my first day at TCC, I felt extremely overwhelmed. Even as a GT student, I am not too tech savvy, so I was fearful of learning to navigate the technology and knowledge necessary for a virtual internship.

However, after a few weeks of learning from my wonderful advisors, I began to get the hang of things.

What I do for TCC more specifically is that I work on researching elections for the Democracy Program, specifically in Honduras, Bolivia, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. I focus on Bolivia and Honduras because their elections have been the most important in the recent work of TCC.

After learning all of the methods necessary to navigate my internship and after becoming familiar with all of the people on my team, I began to enjoy and appreciate my work. Whether I am researching news articles on my specific countries, working on a report, attending meetings, or completing a variety of other tasks, I know that I want to pursue something similar to the work of TCC upon in the future.

However, although there have been many positives of my internship, there are also lots of downsides that come with being a full-time intern and not taking any college courses.

Every single day is different. I may have loads of work assignments and meetings one day and only a few the next day. I am not going to lie, I feel like I’m missing out on some opportunities that I would have had if I went into the office. However, I’ve learned that this can be expected during a pandemic, and I’m gaining experience that I would never have in an in-person internship by learning to navigate what may be reality for a long time to come.  

As I wrap up my internship with The Carter Center Democracy Program over the next few weeks, I’ve taken some time to reflect on the work that I have done as a virtual intern. Although being a virtual intern is a unique experience, what I have learned has been priceless, and I am positive that it will help me in achieving my future career goals.

Anyways, If you’re debating whether you want to apply for an internship or not because it’s virtual, I urge you to do it! No one really knows how long virtual internships will be a thing for, and the experiences that you will gain as a virtual intern may be priceless!

Thanks for reading!

Hey y’all this is Pooja! I hope everyone is having a good week. I just wanted to share some advice I had for time management since I know finals season is approaching. Time management is one of the hardest skills to learn since it focuses on consistency and having a good focus. Sticking to a strict routine can be easy in the beginning stages, but the middle stages are where the challenge truly kicks in. If you’re not a person who takes action on your words, the reality is you won’t have good time management skills till you rewire your mindset. Remind yourself that taking action will change your situation; solely relying on words to make a difference in your life isn’t enough. With that in mind, let me further discuss how everyone reading this can build on their time management skills. 

Tips:

Be strict but not too strict. A lot of people make the mistake of creating a schedule of what they’ll do with very detailed times. For example, let’s say I plan on working out at exactly 6 PM everyday till 7 PM. There are going to be those days where you have other time conflicts and more important priorities in that time range. Rather than planning out every single detail, learn to be more flexible with how you create your schedule. Instead of saying you’ll only work out at 6 PM, make a plan to work out in the evening instead of relying off of a strict time range.

There will be days where you lack motivation to do anything. It happens to everyone, but the amount of discipline you have is the controlling factor for the outcome. The danger of these lazy days is once you start off being unproductive, it’s going to become a cycle. You can afford to have one or two lazy days if you have good discipline. If you’re not at that stage yet don’t take the risk and slack off. Keep pushing yourself to get on track and get the tasks completed for the day. All that work you’re putting in the short term is a long term investment to yourself.

Take breaks between tasks. Suppose you plan to work out, cook, and study for your test. Start out with the smallest tasks first and build your way up. Take breaks doing something you enjoy in the middle of doing those tasks. Multitasking can really help out a lot of people and taking some time to cool down will help you become more efficient. I’m emphasizing starting on the smaller tasks first since once you complete those you’ll feel much better about yourself and have more incentive to complete the biggest task of the day. This method is super effective so be sure to give it a try.

Let me just say to everyone reading this: focus on yourself. You can’t control others but you can control what you’re capable of. You can have a much bigger impact on others than you think. Personally I used to think always hanging out with people would be the solution to being happy. While I enjoy socializing and talking to people, I am so much happier being productive on my own and doing what I have to do for myself. I’ve set so many new goals for myself and have gotten so much done personally over the past few months whether it was weight training, being more active on my blogging account, or getting my schoolwork done in a more efficient manner. We all have the same 24 hours in a day, but it’s truly up to each of us to utilize it to the best extent.

A Day in the Life of a 4th Year Student!

Hi Guys! The last time we spoke I was talking about my time abroad, and you can find the link to those posts at the very bottom of this one! Since then I’ve become an even busier 4th year here at Georgia Tech! Today I’ll be showing you a day in my life!

[8:30am] Wake Up + Getting Started

Today I woke up around 8:30am! My first class starts at 9:30am so this usually gives me enough time to scroll on my phone, refresh my brain, brush my teeth, wash my face and eat breakfast if I so choose! I also spend this time planning my day out, which you can see in the picture below!

[9:30am] INTA 4740

This class is the capstone for my major, Economics and International Affairs! I’m designing a research paper under the guidance of a senior professor along with about 10 of my peers. This class is delivered in a synchronous remote format, meaning we all get on a virtual meeting at the same time at 9:30am on Mondays and Wednesdays. Today we talked about the Logic of Presenting as we will be presenting our research in about 2 weeks!

[11:00am] ECON 4180

The name of this class is Game Theory! The delivery is completely remote so I can tune in to the pre-recorded lectures whenever I’d like but I enjoy staying on time whenever possible! Game Theory is quite interesting, and I take handwritten notes as I follow along!

[12:15pm] Lunch

Lunch for me is usually something simple. Today I ate a bento box I prepared the night before, since I knew I wouldn’t have a bunch of time to make food this afternoon! It was really good!

[1:00pm] Peer-Led Undergraduate Study

I work as a PLUS Leader for Tutoring and Academic Support. My PLUS sessions require that I attend the lecture for the class I cover, ECON 2105, and create a session plan for the students that will attend later on today!

[3:30pm] MGMT 3660

International Business is one of the most useful and relevant classes I’ve taken. Today we are talking about The Organization of International Business and discussing relevant Case Studies! This class is synchronous and hybrid, meaning that there is the option of going to class in person!

[5:00pm] PLUS Session

During my PLUS session I lead attending students through various practice problems about the material covered in their lectures!

[6:00pm] Student Advisory Board

As the President of the Student Advisory Board there are a lot of logistical tasks that I complete in a day! Some things I did today include:

Scheduled a meeting for the Finals Week Initiatives Committee.

Created the agenda for our next meeting on Wednesday.

Emailed to confirm a meeting with the Director of Career Resources.

Talked with a current student about other opportunities to get involved on campus.

Forwarded important information to our Treasurer.

[7:00pm] Dinner and A Show

I’ve been going like crazy all day, now its time for me to enjoy my dinner and one of the shows I enjoy on Netflix! Today I’m watching the Final Table to go along with my healthy dinner of chicken salad!

[8:00pm] Homework + Loose Ends

To wrap my day up, I tie up all of the miscellaneous loose ends. I finish any assignments, clean up my apartment and prepare for the next day!

Hopefully this break down gives you a nice idea about what someone might be up to on any given day here at the IAC! Make sure to reach out if you have any questions!

H E L L O! I'm Chandler (:

Hi everyone! I'm Chandler. I'm a second year INTA major with a minor in International Business, Language, and Culture. I'm originally from Greensboro, GA, which is a SUPER tiny town— that you probably haven't heard of— located about 1.5 hours east of Atlanta.

On campus, I’m involved in a couple of organizations, including Greek life, GT Tour Guides, and Greek Cru. I also work at the Campus Recreation Center in Facilities. Outside of Tech (yes, life outside of Tech exists!), I enjoy baking (specifically chocolate chip cookies, to tell you the truth, since they’re my favorite food), visiting new coffee shops, and exploring Atlanta with friends.

Also, for the record, I’m keenly aware that the last activity (“exploring Atlanta”) probably sounds cliché, but I actually grew up in South Georgia prior to moving to Greensboro. So, I really mean it in labeling the transition from rural Georgia to Atlanta as a complete culture shock.

Recently, I’ve been busy getting through midterms and freezing in the weird, typical fall in Georgia weather (yes, I get cold immediately after it drops below 80). I’ve also been busy researching potential internships, a task that has officially proven itself a bit difficult. I’ve learned how internship application season has the potential to be a little disheartening with every dead end or rejection. However, I bring this up (yes, in my introduction), to make it clear that I’ll be open about topics such as these.

Essentially, I’m interested in chatting about the real experiences of the common Tech student. I find it hard to believe (although I know some of you do exist, and keep on keeping on if that’s you!) that the average Tech student has faced at least some hardship in their job search, degree completion, or personal lives. I hope to really touch on these topics and discuss how my experiences with jobs, extracurriculars, mental health, and overall time on campus with a full course load share commonalities with many Tech students. I’m well aware of how a quick read through of LinkedIn or your Friday night plans compared to everyone else’s can usher in that age old feeling of comparison between what you and everyone else is doing. I think this ease in comparison and its closest companion, imposter syndrome, are two very real topics that deserve discussion in a time when Tech students are receiving some of the most challenging, yet incredibly awarding experiences and invaluable education that they will ever receive during their lifetime.

On the other hand, I also hope to keep things fun with topics of adventure and spontaneity in the city, as well as subjects like the ultimate survival guide to your first week at Tech and things NOT to miss during your first year. Most of all, I hope to reach someone out there, no matter what year or major or walk of life they are, in hopes of service to someone who finds humor in my horrible writing or advice for whatever challenge they’re facing.

Yet for now, I just want to introduce myself and get used to this whole ~blogging~ thing. I’m excited for what’s to come! Thanks for reading, and I look forward to chatting again soon.

Tips for a successful semester online:

Hi! My name is MaKenna McGuire, and I am a second-year majoring in International Affairs and Modern Languages. In the spring, I think that it was very difficult for everyone to abruptly adapt to online learning. When switching from taking classes in person to moving back home to take my classes online, it was a big adjustment. It has taken a while for me to create my own schedule and figure out the best way to be productive, but I created a list of tips to keep in mind when working through your online classes!

1. Create a schedule that works for you: with online classes, you have more flexibility with your classes. Even though this can be very convenient, it becomes challenging when you do not have a routine to follow. You can first start by tracking all of your work through an agenda or planner, whether this is on your computer, in your calendar, or written down in a physical planner. I have found that it is easy to lose track of due dates when you aren’t constantly being told in your classes. Maybe try noting all of the big assignments, tests, and projects thatyou have for the upcoming week so that you can manage your time accordingly. Also, even though it can be tempting, try to wake up at a relatively early time every morning. This will motivate you to get your day started and make it seem like a “semi-normal”school day.

2. Be courteous to your professors! I understand that it can be frustrating at times during your online classes due to the immense amount of busy work that is due by the next class or the feeling that you aren’t retaining the information being taught to you. In any case, it is important to understand how this is a very unique situation, and most professors have not taught under these circumstances. So, they are adjusting their teaching styles just like we are adjusting our own learning and studying methods. At the same time, try to speak up during your lectures and breakout sessions. Online classes make it more difficult to meet and communicate with your professors and classmates and speaking up during a discussion can make the online class more enjoyable.

3. Switch up your study location: it can be exhausting to stare at your laptop all day especially if you don’t move from your desk. If possible, try to explore different study locations such as different places within your house, quiet places outside, or the library. I have noticed that completing my work outside can be very refreshing, and it is a nice change of scenery (check out the 5th floor of the CULC if you are on campus)! Also, in your study space at home, create an organized area to complete all of your classes. As opposed to completing your homework in bed, creating a study space at your desk will motivate you and allow you to be more productive.

4. Get involved in other activities: even if it is online, get involved in other clubs, activities, and organizations outside of your schoolwork. It is nice to switch your mindset away from your schoolwork for a couple hours and allow you to destress. Classes at Georgia Tech can be stressful and draining so it is important to allot some time for other interests on campus. For example, there are many organizations specific to the Ivan Allen College that you can participate in online such as Mock Trial, Model UN, and the Student Advisory Board. It is also a great way to meet other students outside of your classes!

5. Balance your way in a schedule that fits you: during this stressful and uncertain time, it is important to balance your goals and tasks in a way that works for you. For example, if you are more productive in the morning, set an alarm to wake up early, make yourself a nutritious breakfast, and get started on your work. Online classes really allow you to create your own schedule, and even though this can be daunting, try to take advantage of this and personalize your schedule. Make an hour or two in your schedule every day to set all of your work aside and relax, whether this is by yourself or with family and friends. This can allow you to mentally “reset” before you finish your work.

In general, this semester has been a difficult adjustment for all of us, and we are all learningthe best way to be productive. Some of these tips work differently for everyone but try some of them out and see how it works with your online learning!

Internship Spotlight: Jack Sheldon (IAML-French)

*Here’s me last year on my GT European Union study abroad program. We visited Mont-St-Michel, France which looks right out of “Game of Thrones”!

Hello GT Liberal Arts! My name is Jack Sheldon, and I am a third-year International Affairs and Modern Languages (IAML) French student with a certificate in European and Transatlantic Affairs. I am a born and raised Atlantan, and am proud to call this city home. On campus, I am involved with Greek life, Model United Nations, Student Government, and am an Ambassador for the Ivan Allen College. You can find my Ambassador profile and contact here.

This semester, I have had the unique opportunity of interning at The Carter Center (TCC), an NGO in Atlanta that is affiliated with Emory University and the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library. 

*The Carter Center logo. TCC was founded by President Jimmy Carter, a notable GT grad.

I am working in Peace Programs, under the Conflict Resolution Program. Within this program, there are multiple conflict resolution initiatives; I am currently working on the Mali Independent Observer (IO) unit. The Mali IO is essentially an independent consultant for the implementation of a 2015 peace agreement signed by rebel parties and the Malian government after a 2012 coup d’état and insurgency. 

My work at TCC really depends on the day and is very dynamic, partially due to the fact that there was another coup d’état in the country only a few days before my start date earlier this fall. I have written memos on the post-coup government, drafted media reports, written reports to our donors like the U.S. Department of State, engaged with our francophone team in Mali, and have also gotten to work with data visualizations in Microsoft Power BI. This internship has been a great way to marry my INTA and French areas of focus in a completely new environment!

My GT Liberal Arts education has been indispensable for this internship. Previous in-class, study abroad, and extracurricular experiences in things like policy memo writing, analytical reading, data visualization, and French language skills have given me tools that I use every day on the job. Internships are a great way to apply classroom knowledge to a real-world context, something which Ivan Allen students do frequently. TCC is a very popular place where GT Liberal Arts students intern and I am glad to be among their ranks! 

Thank you for reading and Go Jackets!

ML Students Shine in Climate Action Photography & Art Contest:

Modern Languages was well-represented in the Climate Action Photography & Art Contest organized by the Atlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC) in partnership with the German Consulate General in Atlanta and the Georgia Department of Education as part of the second-annual Global Climate Action Symposium, Oct 6-8.

In the Undergraduate and Postgraduate level, the top three winners were all students of the School of Modern Languages. Please see below for details on their submissions.

1st Place: Patricia Graffunder

Description: "This painting illustrates that while the practically unregulated mega-corporations in our capitalistic system contribute more to climate change in a single day that an average person could in a lifetime, we are nevertheless forced to partake in it and contribute to the swift destruction of our only habitat."

2nd Place: Kristina Hilko

Description: "The embroidery represents how fragile the current environment is. Like sand in an hourglass, the current state of the environment is slipping away from us. If we are not careful, the world will end up being a wasteland of pollution and filth."

3rd Place: Lydia Fletcher

Description: "Here are cliff dwelling ruins at Mesa Verde - the dwellings serve as a reminder that caring for the environment and utilizing its resources are not mutually exclusive. Our goal should be rather to co-exist with our environment."

For the first time in Georgia Tech's history, plans are in place to have a mural painted on campus - specifically, on the Skiles Walkway brick wall. The mural is scheduled for completion by the Spring 2021 semester. Sinet Adous, a fourth-year international affairs major, got the idea for the on-campus mural during her experience working with Living Walls Atlanta. She hopes that the mural can celebrate the diversity of the student community and help to bridge theculture gap between the Georgia Tech and Atlanta community.

“We are a vibrant people. We ought to paint it on a wall,” says Adous.
