MSEEM Orientation & Leadership Retreat

Unicoi State Park Retreat

 

Each year, the MSEEM and CSEEM Cohort takes a trip to North Georgia Unicoi State Park for a weekend to prepare for the program. Students are joined by guest speakers, well-established alumni, as well as some Georgia Tech Faculty. This year's dates for our orientation and leadership retreat are August 9-11th, 2024.
