Last Monday, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in a hackathon within my organization, where we gamified our efforts to address real challenges our organization faces, particularly Monash University's Admissions processes. Our focus was clear: "How might we optimize the application process by reducing duplication, improving data accuracy, simplifying application procedures, and streamlining assessments, ultimately saving time and increasing the number of applications?" During the hackathon, our team independently and objectively analyzed the problem we set out to solve. We conducted in-depth research and needs analysis, identifying and assessing the challenges within our organization's admissions processes. We then developed a solution tailored to address our organization's specific business and operational issues, all while keeping our audience, the Admissions team, and prospective students at the core of our process. Our ideas and proposed solutions were presented to a distinguished panel, including the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), the Director of Admissions, and the Director of Planning and Engagement. I'm thrilled our team's idea and solution received the Audience's Choice Award. It's a true honour to be recognized by my teammates for our innovative and creative approach to solving this important challenge. It's a testament to the dedication and hard work put in by our team, and I'm grateful to have been a part of such a successful and impactful endeavour. #Hackathon #Innovation #ProblemSolving

We’re thrilled to begin highlighting our 2024 Impact Fellows each #FellowFriday! This week, we’d like you to meet 2024 Impact Fellow Albertina Clayton: “It’s hard to distill my experience so far as an EP Fellow down to one key takeaway because there have been so many wonderful things I have learned in these past few months. However, when I take a step back to see how each of these experiences are connected, it is clear that at the heart of it all, the through line, if you will, is compassion. Everyone is coming into this world with a different set of unique experiences leading to nuanced perspectives and perceptions of the world around them. It is when we allow ourselves to connect with others, fight for others, help others through the eyes of compassion that we do the true work.” == Don’t miss out on the opportunity to work on high-impact projects in the K-12 education sector while growing alongside a cohort of peers! Apply to the 2024-2025 EP Fellowship! Apply by the Priority Round Deadline to have access to the first round of projects if you become a finalist. Submit your application here: https://lnkd.in/g8edT_bW

How does it feel when Forbes calls your degree program the GOAT? Rewarding! Ten years ago when this fully on-line master's program in computer science launched - some thought it innovative, others disruptive, and even some thought it would usher a decline in the overall GT brand. Fast forward and today, we are "among the most employer-connected, industry-aligned universities in the country with growing enrollments at every level (on campus and online)." That's the Yellow Jacket spirit - finding new ways to create value, offer access to the broadest community possible, and fueling disruptive innovation through education and technology. #GoJackets
