Welcome!
2023 Shadow Day | Jan. 27 and Apr. 14
Welcome to the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts!
Spend the day with us. Shadow Day is an opportunity for both admitted students (first-year and transfer) and prospective juniors and seniors to test their fit as a Liberal Arts student at Georgia Tech.
We want to emphasize that there is no other program like Shadow Day at Georgia Tech. While there are other visitation programs offered, the Shadow Day event is unique! Our focus is about providing you an inside look into your major and life as a Liberal Arts student at Georgia Tech.
REGISTRATION IS CLOSED FOR FRIDAY, JANUARY 27TH.
