CORPORATE AFFILIATES PROGRAM

Current and Incoming Partners

n the past two years, all of us have faced unprecedented social, economic, and technological challenges. I am sure your organization, like ours, has been profoundly changed. The race to adapt has driven a wave of innovation, and emphasized the need for top technical talent at every level of industry and throughout the economy. At Georgia Tech we remain committed to educating that talent and matching it with the employers who need it. We understand that recruiting works best when it is focused and targeted, and we stand ready to help your organization. Computing is now the largest major at Georgia Tech. Our enrollment has risen 16 percent in just the past year, and based on our bumper crop of applications we expect that trajectory to continue. Our student body is also among the most diverse among computing programs (and becoming more so): 26 percent of our undergraduates are female, and 14 percent come from underrepresented minority groups. The pandemic has accelerated our investment in remote and hybrid learning. Because of our experience with our Online Master’s of Computer Science, we were already ahead of the curve when the pandemic hit; we had already created and tested an online version of our Intro to Computing course, for example. We have found that, with appropriate technical and academic support, our students in that course learned as well online as they did in person. We have built on those lessons during the pandemic, continuing to offer the top-tier education that led U.S. News & World Report to rank our undergraduate program fifth in the country. We are also adapting in the ways that we work with our industry partners. We have seen Atlanta grow as a tech hub, meaning that many more of our partners have offices or second headquarters in the city. We value those close local relationships and are working to nurture them. At the same time, we are moving to offer our career fairs, tech talks, networking sessions, and other activities online, and we plan to continue developing our online offerings even when in-person activities are once again possible. Distance should never be an obstacle to opportunity for our students nor for our industrial partners. To learn more about your options and the value they bring for your organization, please watch the CAP information seminar on our website. I want to thank our renewing partners, whose efforts have been so important to our students and to the strategic goals of the College. To them, and to those who are considering becoming partners, I say we are committed to supporting you in your efforts through and beyond this most difficult time. We look forward to working with you to build your future and ours. n Peace,

Charles Isbell Dean and John P. Imlay Jr. Chair of Computing
