Hillary Degenkolb was recently elected by the 50-member Reck Club to be the 2015 Wreck Driver and featured by the Georgia Tech campus news in the article "She's Got the Keys"

The news feature connects back to one of the strengths of LMC's Computational Media program: that the program may well be one of the few computationally intensive degrees that has a high percentage of women enrolled. 

Degenkolb says, "Now students can say it’s not weird to have a female Wreck Driver. Of course that can happen.” Read more of Hillary's thoughts on her new role.
