Challenge Testimonials
Challenge was by far one of the most impactful programs that I participated in at Georgia Tech. The program provided me with one of, if not the most important, key to success, community.
-4th Year, Electrical Engineering Student
Because of OMED’s Challenge program, I met some of my closest friends and earned a 4.0 GPA during my first semester at Tech. I am successful today because of OMED and its staff.
