I know it’s not May 12th yet but my son, Sloan,  has me celebrating it early. He sent me two texts Tuesday night that started the special day early for me. The texts are in the photo. They are actually a celebration of him and his teammates on their Senior Project Georgia Institute of Technology. My mighty mother’s pride kicked in. It’s truly shameful how powerful that feeling is.

Here’s the story about this special recognition. Sloan Wilds spent his final semester taking no classroom courses.  He worked with his team of 7 other students in the Georgia Tech H. Milton Stewart School of ISyE on their senior project. It is known in advance to be a demanding and challenging project so he finished his coursework by this last semester.

Each of 27 Industrial Engineering senior project teams worked on real-world projects for real businesses. Each team presented their findings in a competition on Tuesday.  To Sloan and his teammates COMPLETE SURPRISE, they won FIRST PLACE! 

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR GOOD WORK AND RECOGNITION FOR IT!
