The GT Echo
The GT Echo is the College of Computing's private virtual campus.

Attendees will be able to voice chat and text chat to virtually network with other attendees. We're excited for you all to experience this new virtual platform!
The Expo Hall
How do I get there?
Log in to The GT Echo, select "GO TO" in the top right corner of your window and select "Expo Hall". Once in the Expo Hall, walk straight and to the left, and you will be at the Resume Cram!
Event Format:
Each employer will have their own dedicated booth. Each booth has private volumes, meaning once you're in the booth space, you will only be able to be hear/speak to those in the booth space.
Students should wait patiently outside the booth they'd like to visit until they see the previous student exit the space.
Students can visit as many booths as they'd like throughout the event!
