This influx of talent is an important ingredient in strengthening our research productivity and impact. In addition, we recognize that this growth in activity has strained physical infrastructure as well as the technical and management infrastructure required to enter into more complex and multi-faceted ventures with government and industry. We must insure that the Georgia Tech business operations provide a more effective support to our faculty. Finally, we are committed to achieving our vision of a community of scholars at Georgia Tech. Ultimately, we want to translate our faculty and students' quest for knowledge into real opportunities to dream and create.
Creativity is, after all, the core of our engineering enterprise.
