  • Amazon Go Adventure with Professor Ross
    The event will be led by Professor Ross and will involve a visit to the Amazon Go store where students will get to learn all about the store and its unique features.

    For those who may not be familiar with Amazon Go, it is a chain of convenience stores that use advanced technology to allow customers to shop without any checkout lines. Instead, shoppers simply scan their Amazon Go app upon entering the store, and the items they select are automatically added to their virtual cart. The technology then charges the customer's Amazon account when they leave the store, eliminating the need for traditional checkout lines.

    All students who are interested in attending the "Amazon Go Adventure" event will meet at the GGU Hub at 3:40 PM, and then walk to the Amazon Go store together.
