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. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Alex Vacca, Corporate Director of Strategy for Northrop Grumman, will be presenting on some of the recent growth and events that have made waves in the aerospace and defense industry!
For the past century the defense industry has remained a product of the Wright Brothers, a rarified and special outgrowth of general industrial and technology firms. The new defense industry, forming around us and turbocharged by massive investment and outsized personalities, will involve companies that look, and behave, very differently from those in the past, making defense one of the most exciting fields in which to build a career. This presentation will look at some of these factors, and highlight some of the changes sweeping through industry.
Come see how staying in tune with the current events of the aerospace industry can help you prepare to eventually join the field!
