Class of 2026, you did it 🎓💛

Countdown to Commencement: Meet the Spring 2026 Grads 🎓
Meet Josh Truong, a BSBA student from Jonesboro, Georgia.
Inspired by his family and a strong hustle mentality, Josh saw his business degree as a launchpad for new opportunities. Through Scheller Business Ambassadors, Tech Promise, and mentoring in MGT 1100, he helped future students feel welcomed, supported, and excited to find their place.
One of his favorite memories was meeting a prospective student at a recruitment event, then later seeing that same student choose Scheller and join the class he mentored. It was a full-circle moment that reminded him just how much community matters.
Along the way, Josh discovered a passion for marketing and content creation, especially through hands-on work in digital marketing.
Next up: Snap Inc. as a content creator.
Congrats, Josh!

Meet Emme Arp, a BSBA student from Cedartown, Georgia.
Emme started at Georgia Tech in aerospace engineering, but through the Steven A. Denning Technology and Management (T&M) Program, she found a path that combined her interest in engineering with her passion for business.
One of her biggest takeaways from Scheller was learning how to confidently tell her own story, a skill she now sees as one of her greatest strengths.
On campus, Emme served as vice president of membership development for the Scheller Business Ambassadors and held leadership roles in her sorority as vice president of marketing and director of social events.
Next up, she’s joining Georgia-Pacific LLC as a corporate accountant.
Congrats, Emme! 🥳

We are saddened by the loss of Steven A. Denning, whose generosity and vision left a lasting mark on Georgia Tech.
A proud alumnus and dedicated supporter of the Institute, Denning believed in creating opportunities for students to grow not only as professionals but as thoughtful, collaborative leaders. His endowed support of the Steven A. Denning Technology & Management Program has had a lasting impact on Scheller and on the many students it has helped prepare to lead across disciplines with curiosity, empathy, and purpose.
We extend our sincere condolences to his family, friends, and all who were touched by his life and service.
