On February 11th, 2025, a group of our university students had the opportunity to visit Google’s regional campus in Atlanta, GA. The visit offered an in-depth look at Google’s workplace culture, technical infrastructure, and career pathways available to aspiring tech professionals.

Students were greeted by members of Google’s outreach and engineering teams. The visit began with a welcoming session where Google employees discussed the company’s values, work environment, and commitment to innovation.

The day continued with a series of interactive presentations and demos focused on:

  • Software engineering workflows at Google
  • Emerging technologies and cloud solutions
  • Team structures and project life cycles

Our Grizzlies also toured various collaborative workspaces within the office, learning how Google’s design fosters creativity, inclusion, and productivity.

A panel discussion featuring current Googlers—ranging from software engineers to UX designers—allowed students to ask questions about internships, entry-level roles, and the transition from school to full-time work.

Many attendees commented on how the visit demystified the inner workings of one of the world’s largest tech companies. For students interested in careers in technology, the experience provided both practical insights and lasting inspiration.

We are grateful to the team at Google Atlanta for their hospitality and for creating such a welcoming, informative experience for our students. We would like to thank our hosts Jessica A. Mitchell and Ericka B. for their hospitality. We would also like to give a special thanks to the chair of Department of Information Technology, Sean Yang, for making the introductions, GGC School of Science and Technology’s Dean of Students, Dr. Joseph Ametepe, and Georgia Gwinnett College provost, Dr. Chavonda Mills, for their continued support.
