No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups.

President Ángel Cabrera has named a search advisory committee in an international search for Georgia Tech’s next provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs. The search follows the announcement that Provost Rafael L. Bras intends to step down on Sept. 1 and return to the faculty. The committee will be co-chaired by Charles Isbell, dean of the College of Computing and Susan Lozier, dean of the College of Sciences.
Students, faculty, and staff are invited to two town halls to learn more about the search and provide feedback on their idea of an ideal candidate.
A second date has been set for: Tues. March 10 at 4:00 p.m. in Global Learning Center, Room 236
Georgia Tech will be assisted by Jackie Zavitz, Ellen Landers and Kaley Palanjian of Heidrick & Struggles, Inc. Nominations and applications should be directed to GTProvost@heidrick.com.
Once finalized, an application link will be provided, as well as a search timeline and ongoing updates, via a forthcoming search site.
