“I am pleased and proud to see our alumni recognized as part of such an elite group. Although they are engaged in wildly different pursuits, their entrepreneurship and innovation represent the very best that the GT Computing community has to offer,” said Charles Isbell, Dean of Computing and John P. Imlay Jr. chair.

According to the Alumni Association, the new program acknowledges the achievements of Tech alumni who are improving the human condition while under the age of 40.

“I am amazed and humbled by the accomplishments of these innovators and trendsetters. They epitomize the focus that our Georgia Tech alumni have to make the world a better place,” said Dene Sheheane, president of the Georgia Tech Alumni Association.
