ALUMNI QUOTABLE QUOTES

ANDREW LEONARD (CS 10)
IT Support Professional, Senior

“I love Georgia Tech and have spent much of my life running around the College of Computing. My father worked under Dean Peter Freeman as the head of what would become TSO starting in 1991.”

ANA ANTÓN (ICS 90, MS ICS 92, Ph.D. CS 97)
Professor & former Chair, School of Interactive Computing

“At Georgia Tech, I learned that it’s important to work on challenging and thorny problems, and I still am inspired to do that today.”

BETSY DISALVO (Ph.D. HCC 12)
Associate Professor, School of Interactive Computing

“It is odd to see my peers and myself become senior folks in the department. I am now the director of the HCC Ph.D. program that I graduated from.”

CHARLES ISBELL (ICS 90)
Dean of Computing & John P. Imlay Jr. Chair

“We’re big, and we think big. We produce research and graduates at a scale that moves the market. But that’s a side effect of our willingness to take big risks…”

DAVID JOYNER (CS 08, MS HCI 09, Ph.D. HCC 15)
Executive Director for Online Education and OMSCS

“What I think is most remarkable about Georgia Tech is the ease with which we collaborate across departments, across schools, across colleges, and across the institute as a whole.”

JENNIFER WHITLOW (CM 09)
Director of Computing Enrollment & Alumni Engagement

“A lot has changed, but a lot has stayed the same. The biggest change has been in the size of the College – I think there are as many students in this year’s first-year class as there were in the College’s entire undergrad population when I was a student.”

KEITH EDWARDS (ICS 89, MS ICS 91, Ph.D. CS 95)
Professor and Director of GVU

“I was in an *amazing* cohort of students when I was in grad school, not only brilliant people, but we had a strong social network as well.”

REBECCA WILSON (Mgt 99)
Director of Academic Programs

“I would love for GT Computing to continue to be a nationally-ranked CS program and just continue getting stronger as a community.”

RICHARD L. HENNEMAN (Ph.D. ISyE 85)
Professor of the Practice, School of Interactive Computing

“It is easy at a big school like Georgia Tech for students to lose their way. I was lucky in my graduate experience at GT to have a strong support network, i.e., a community of faculty and student colleagues who strengthened each other academically and socially through a variety of shared experiences.”

SEHOON HA (Ph.D. CS 15)
Assistant Professor, School of Interactive Computing

“I learned a lot about mentality from my advisor, which has been helpful throughout my life.”

SHEILA ISBELL (MS CS 11)
Chief, Software Engineering & Analytics Division, GTRI

“I was a non-traditional student at Tech working full time with a young family, so connecting with other students and their schedules could be a challenge. However, my favorite moments were our late-night study sessions as a group after gathering in a TA’s office hours.”

TIMOTHY BROWN (Mgt 02)
Academic Program Manager II

“GT Computing as an organization is very top-down diverse, which is outstanding given our current sociopolitical climate.”
