Julia Bergmann: The Lavagirl that brought Tech volleyball to the forefront

What if I told you that the most famous person graduating from Georgia Tech’s campus today could go unnoticed if they wanted while on campus, but internationally boasted a social media following nearing 125,000 people?

That has been the reality for Brazilian volleyball star Julia Bergmann in her time at Georgia Tech, a place where one can accurately joke that students can’t make it to football games because of a Monday exam, and athletes are part of the everyday struggle like everyone else.

Today, May 6, 2023, one of the most impactful Gen Z athletes at Tech in Bergmann will walk and depart with an Applied Languages degree with a minor in Physics.
