“The goals of Athletics Initiative 2020 are simple – to ensure that we can recruit the special type of student-athlete that can excel both athletically and academically at Georgia Tech, provide the tools and technology needed to build a better student-athlete once they’re here and to reach our expectations of winning at the highest level of intercollegiate athletics,” Stansbury continued. “Excellence and innovation are in our DNA. Athletics Initiative 2020 will help us stay true to those standards for years to come.”
