Six luminaries from the GT Computing community will be welcomed into the College of Computing Hall of Fame during an induction ceremony and reception being held at a local event venue.

“Each of these highly accomplished and well-respected members of our community has cast a long shadow across computing and done much to support the growth and success of the College. It is an honor to welcome them in to the College's Hall of Fame,” said Zvi Galil, the John P. Imlay Jr. Dean of Computing.

More than 125 guests – including current and former College of Computing Advisory Board members, alumni, faculty, students, and other friends of the college – are expected to attend the RSVP-only event.
