Earlier this month, Provost Rafael Bras announced the creation of the International Advisory Group, a faculty committee that will serve to support and advise both the provost and the vice provost on issues related to Georgia Tech’s strategy for global engagement.
“In Tech’s strategic plan, a stated goal is the expansion of our global footprint and influence,” said Steve McLaughlin, vice provost for International Initiatives and chair of the advisory group. “Not only will this foster research collaborations and promote economic development both at home and abroad, but also ensure Georgia Tech graduates good global citizens who are prepared to assume leadership positions with multinational institutions.”
The International Advisory Group will meet at least once per quarter with the agenda centered on pending issues and advice/assistance in shaping our global engagement.
