The ink is barely dry on his bachelor’s degree diploma, and now electrical and computer engineering graduate Cole Bevis will be getting his master’s degree.

After walking at Commencement in May, the Lake Forest, Illinois, native will walk again in December to pick up his master’s on his way to a job at Google. Internships at LinkedIn, Texas Instruments, Boeing and Google paved the way for his success.

“When you tell people you’re an engineer from Georgia Tech, people from around the world know that,” Bevis said. “They immediately respect your technical acumen, and it’s really awesome to see that.”
