Global Atlanta - May 30, 2008
Georgia Tech is considering establishing a logistics program in Panama. A presence in the Central American country could help the university recruit top-notch students in the region and capitalize on an extensive logistics infrastructure and the upcoming expansion of the Panama Canal, according to Harvey Donaldson, director of Georgia Tech's Supply Chain & Logistics Institute. Although no formal agreements have taken root, plans could include a dual master's degree program with a local university or an educational partnership with the Panama Canal Authority, said Chelsea (Chip) White, chair of H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial & Systems Engineering, which oversees the supply chain institute.
