Working groups will now focus on six strategic themes that resulted from the plan\u0026rsquo;s visioning phase. During visioning, more than 5,700 students, faculty, staff, alumni, campus partners, and community leaders shared\u0026nbsp;varied perspectives, aspirations, and dreams to help shape the future of the Institute.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn February, applications to serve on the working groups were received from interested students, faculty, and staff. Co-leaders for each working group were also identified. Comprised of more than 250 people representing colleges, schools, and other units from across campus, the\u0026nbsp;working groups will meet weekly and engage between meetings through online collaboration tools, and surveys to complete the strategic analysis and draft goals. In some instances, the working groups will engage guest speakers and subject matter experts to complete their strategic analysis. The working group drafts will then be considered by Institute leadership over the summer, with the final goals and objectives to be finalized and communicated in early fall.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;I thank every member of the working groups for ensuring that the momentum around our strategic plan effort continues, even in these uncertain times and as their professional and personal lives are disrupted,\u0026rdquo; said President \u0026Aacute;ngel Cabrera. \u0026ldquo;This crisis highlights the critical role Georgia Tech plays in finding solutions to global challenges and in developing leaders who can make a difference locally and around the world.
