The first time you start Office 365 it is important to login with your Gwinnett Tech student email account so it is registered as part of the "Office 365 Education for free" program.

Go to the start menu to search for your newly installed Office 365 applications such as Word.

Other Troubleshooting steps

Windows may sometimes automatically log you in to Office 365 with another email address when it is first installed. Check to see if this has happened.

If you are signed in with another email besides your Gwinnett Tech student email account you may run into a license issue. Sign out of the other email address so you can sign in with your Gwinnett Tech student email account.
