By luring tech companies to Atlanta while simultaneously growing its enrollment, the Georgia Institute Of Technology is creating a super-sized rival to MIT, Caltech and Stanford and fueling Silicon Valley South.
Since Ángel Cabrera took up the helm at Georgia Tech in 2019, it has become the largest public university in the state.up shop in Atlanta in 2009, leaders from the ATM and self-checkout technology provider NCR Voyix have become frequent faces on the Georgia Institute of Technology campus.
Cabrera spent eight years at Thunderbird, tasked with turning around a steep enrollment decline after demand for MBAs dropped in the early 2000s. Through the introduction of online programs, Cabrera brought Thunderbird’s enrollment up from below 600 students to over 1,400 before he left in 2012 to take up the helm at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.
And the industry partnerships keep on coming. Last month, Georgia Tech’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering announced it would join Apple’s New Silicon Initiative, a program that prepares students for careers in hardware technology, computer architecture and silicon chip design—skills that Apple needs in order to continue to grow. As part of the program, Apple will lend subject matter experts for guest lectures, hire interns, and lead a tapeout fabrication class .
