Humans are storytellers and those who participate in Georgia Tech study abroad programs or come from another country to study at GT are no different. Georgia Tech offers life-changing international opportunities-whether that's studying here in Atlanta, studying abroad, researching, or interning abroad. The Office of International Education (OIE) provides a platform for students to share those stories through the annual Photo Contest. Submissions are open to students that have been abroad this past academic year (Fall 2022 - Summer 2023).
We are now accepting applications! The winners will be showcased on November 16th, 2023 at the Photo Contest Reception.
