On January 20 and 21, you will have the opportunity to offer your ideas for redesigning Georgia Tech’s educational experience. During these Days of Engagement, all faculty and instructors are asked to devote a portion of every class to discuss improvements to how Georgia Tech teaches and what students learn. I want to encourage you to speak openly about what you think will elevate learning at Georgia Tech from rigorous to an unparalleled experience in scholarship.

The Days of Engagement are an important part of the Institute’s strategic planning process and an opportunity for all students to participate in designing the future of Georgia Tech. A dedicated committee of students, faculty, and staff is already working on developing new ideas that will enhance your learning. Take some time to review their work or post some of your own thoughts before January 20:

Our future plans can and will be enhanced through a collective, open and honest dialogue and I encourage you to take part in this endeavor.  Thank you in advance as we work together to make Georgia Tech the very best it can possibly be. I look forward to learning from you and with you.

Sincerely,
Dr. G. P. “Bud” Peterson
