In 2010, Georgia Tech Savannah first sponsored a float in Savannah's St. Patrick's Day Parade, which attracts more than 400,000 spectators each year. The float quickly became a campus tradition.

Experiential Learning

The Experiential Learning Implementation Team will identify a set core undergraduate and graduate experiences (co-ops, internships, directed studies) based on Georgia Tech needs and specialties to leverage resources and relationships in the Savannah market.

Areas of focus:

  • Exploration of Ideas: Explore concepts/ideas for each proposed initiative and consider competition and market price points.
  • Process / Policy Constraints: Identify what current processes and policies inhibit the concepts from moving forward or enable them to clearly determine specific issues to enable the concepts to flourish.
  •  Business Models and Metrics: Final concepts need to lead to self-sufficiency and must have the correct incentives for all stakeholders in the market, as well as metrics that will allow tracking to show progress.
