Grand Challenges is an interdisciplinary living learning community open to all majors and colleges hosted by the Office of Leadership, Education and Development (LEAD) in partnership with the College of Engineering.
LIVE
Whether they are exploring Atlanta, working on a service project, cheering on their fellow Yellow Jackets at the football game, studying for a big test, or just grabbing lunch in the dining hall, Grand Challenges students embrace their community like no other group on Georgia Tech’s campus.
LEARN
The Grand Challenges courses are built on three core principles - Engagement Beyond the Classroom, Interdisciplinary Exploration and Team Collaboration designed to create a unique academic experience and push the boundaries of traditional learning.
LEAD
To effectively tackle the complex challenges of today and create the optimal tomorrow, the world needs Grand Challengers - highly motivated, analytically intelligent, and relentlessly optimistic global citizens who recognize the need to work together to create sustainable and authentic change.
Project Highlights
Poster sessions culminate the Grand Challenges experience, bringing student ideas to life as they present innovative solutions developed over two semesters and engage a community of peers, professionals, and stakeholders with ideas designed for real-world impact.
