Anna Westerstahl Stenport, chair of Georgia Tech’s School of Modern Languages and founding co-director of the Atlanta Global Studies Center, was quoted in the article "Georgia State Joins Metro Atlanta Colleges and Universities to Launch New Global Research and Education Collaborative" published on August 28, 2020, by Georgia State University. In the article, Stenport discussed the newly formed Atlanta Global Research and Education Collaborative (AGREC), a unit of the Atlanta Global Studies Center, which will help connect the region’s international assets through an emphasis on supporting “global at home” projects that serve students, faculty, and community partners and define the metropolitan area as a hub for global education and research.
An excerpt:
“One of our fundamental goals has been to catalyze and support collaborative research on global topics, and this opportunity represents a very timely and concrete manifestation of that commitment,” said Stenport and AGSC founding co-director Anthony F. Lemieux, of Georgia State University.
