Amplify Impact


The world is looking to research universities for solutions. Georgia Tech has earned a reputation for excellence in research, education, and economic development. Now, as we continue to define what it means to be a leading public technological university, we will amplify the impact our ideas and our graduates have in the world.

ASPIRATION

To embrace our power as agents of change for the public good and generate talent, ideas, and solutions with unmatched impact and scale to help define and address the most critical problems of our time, locally and globally, we will:

  • Be the nation's leading source of sought-after talent in technology-related fields at all career stages.
  • Be one of the nation’s most research-intensive academic institutions, recognized as a leading contributor to solving the most critical and complex challenges of our time.
  • Provide all students with transformative learning experiences to grow as creative, ethical, globally aware, technologically sophisticated leaders who can define and solve problems to improve the human condition.
  • Be an anchor institution, partner, and catalyst of sustainable development in our city and our state.
  • Elevate the application of Georgia Tech’s thought leadership by decision-makers in the public and private sectors, and the academic community.

 

Georgia Tech is redefining what it means to be a leading public technological research university in this new era, committed to empowering people of all backgrounds and to integrating our resources across disciplines to create a better future for our community — locally, nationally, and globally.
