Epic Georgia Tech Incoming Freshman Speech Goes Viral

Watch the epic speech given by a Georgia Tech student.

Nick Selby, a Georgia Tech sophomore, has provided a speech to incoming freshman that is so epic, it has been called "an absolutely enthusiastic and motivational welcome," by The Wall Street Journal.

Nick, who is a mechanical engineering student, has gone viral with this inspiring pep-talk to the incoming class.  Full of energy and zeal, Selby talks over the music used in 2001: A Space Odyssey to ignite the passion and fortitude necessary for incoming freshman to grow and prosper at the technical institution.


According to 11Alive.com Selby is not the only viral student on campus.  They report that "Parker Pitisci, Luella High School's famous "dancing salutatorian," just began his freshman year at the Atlanta school."
