Believing in the Journey
Change through innovation has been key to Georgia Tech's success. It is the philosophy that bonds the community. For African Americans at Georgia Tech, the pace has sometimes been slow but the journey has been dramatic. We look at a university now that has some of the best and brightest minds in the nation and leads the country in the number of African American engineers. Fifty years of believing in the journey have propelled Tech into the forefront of higher education.
