President to Give Annual Address

On Aug. 29, President G. P. “Bud” Peterson will hold his annual address, updating the Georgia Tech community on the state of the Institute. Students, faculty and staff are invited to attend the event, which will be held at Clough Commons. The address will touch on the rapid changes taking place in higher education and the continual need to adjust Tech’s 25-year Strategic Plan.

“While we had some very smart people working on Tech’s strategic plan, nobody predicted the amazing rapidity with which technology-assisted instruction would be adopted, things like massive open online courses and our new online master of science in computer science,” Peterson said. “Our challenge at this point is to continue to make progress and ensure that we view the plan as a living document, adjusting and modifying it to accommodate the changing circumstances and technologies.”
