Student Spotlight: Milan Johnson, Edge Leader
"I would tell them to make their own definition of success and to not compare themselves to other Tech students. Everyone isn’t going to get a 4.0 GPA, but as long as you improve and learn from each failure and meet your own academic goals, then you have succeeded here."

Student Spotlight: Brandon Harris, Edge Leader
"My favorite Georgia Tech experience is definitely being a mentor. I am a mentor for OMED’s Edge program as well as a mentor for the ChBE mentor program. Throughout my time mentoring, I had the opportunity to learn from my mentees while watching them develop and succeed."

Black History Month Lecture Keynote Speaker Angela Rye Discusses the Impact of #MeToo and the Need for ‘Working Woke’
Activists will recognize the familiar protest chant: What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!
According to Georgia Tech’s Fifth Annual Black History Month Lecture Keynote Speaker Angela Rye, this is the wrong ask.
“In Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s ‘Where Do We Go from Here?’ speech, he discussed power, and he defined power as the ability to achieve purpose,” said Rye. “When you can’t achieve your purpose, does it matter if you are dealt with fairly?”

For much of its history, from laboratories to lecture halls, Georgia Tech was seen as a place where women were scarce and their contributions little known. How times have changed.
Georgia Tech is building a reputation for launching women’s careers, and the past decade has seen a steady increase in the number of women applicants and students here.

 On April 5, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., a new piece of public art will be unveiled at Georgia Tech.
Titled Continuing the Conversation, the sculpture depicts Rosa Parks at age 42 — the year her courageous act helped launch the Montgomery bus boycott and sparked a movement that would reshape the nation — and at age 92, the year she died. They sit across from each other, an empty seat between them, inviting passersby to join in.
Attend the Dedication!
