Connect Globally
The most consequential challenges we face as a society require global collaboration and solutions. Georgia Tech has become a globally recognized, reliable partner in supporting international collaboration, education, commerce, and research into complex issues. As the world becomes more global, so will we.
ASPIRATION
To strengthen our role as a convener of worldwide collaboration, and build a global learning network to expand our reach and amplify our impact, we will:
- Prepare all Georgia Tech students to be cross-culturally competent, globally minded leaders.

- Be a hub of a global learning and an innovation network through global partnerships, alumni engagement, lifelong learning, and research collaborations.
- Lead and contribute to global collaborative efforts that advance the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals through our education, research, and service.
The exceptional talent we are able to attract from around the world positions Georgia Tech to make unique contributions to local and global problems, build strong bridges to the world, and strengthen the global competitiveness of our state.
