The Georgia Tech College of Computing is set to honor its 2019 Hall of Fame Inductees this evening in Atlanta.

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.

2019 inductees into the College of Computing Hall of Fame are:

  • James E. Allchin – Computer scientist, philanthropist, blues-rock guitarist
  • Krishna A. Bharat – Research scientist and Google News creator
  • James D. Foley – Professor Emeritus, former holder of the Stephen Fleming Chair in Telecommunications
  • Alton P. “Pete” Jensen – computer science professor
  • Janet L. Kolodner – School of Interactive Computing Regents’ Professor Emeritus, cognitive and learning scientist
  • Tom E. Noonan – Engineer, venture capitalist, and philanthropist

With the new additions, the GT Computing Hall of Fame now has 10 members. The six 2019 inductees join the four members of Class Zero, inducted to the Hall of Fame during an inaugural event in last 2018.
