Share the L.O.V.E.
The Living Our Values Every Day (L.O.V.E. GT) is an initiative centered around promoting the Institute’s primary values: student prioritization, excellence, diversity, collaboration, innovation, freedom of inquiry and expression, community well-being, ethicality and responsibility. This initiative seeks to better organizational culture, centered around the behaviors, beliefs, assumptions, priorities and experiences of the campus community at the Institute. Supporting and empowering everyone — students, faculty, staff, alumni, and affiliates — to embed the values in their daily interactions is a core objective of L.O.V.E. GT.
The initiative is organized into three components:
-
Leadership - seeks to train and equip leaders to “lead by example” in living our values every day.
-
Engagement - focuses on communicating and connecting values to the fabric of our daily work.
-
Systems - works to ensure that internal policies, practices, and procedures reflect Georgia Tech’s values.
