Why give to the School of Biological Sciences?
The value of a Georgia Tech degree is directly related to the quality of our graduates and the skills that they bring to their careers. It is in all of our best interests to make sure that Georgia Tech Biology graduates are exceptionally well prepared to succeed in their chosen fields. Their success builds the reputation of Georgia Tech and enhances the value of a Georgia Tech degree.
Investing in People
In order to expand on this tradition of excellence, Biological Sciences faculty continue to perform outstanding research and teaching, delivering the finest education possible to our students. Our professors are engaged in mentoring post-docs, graduate and undergraduate students and are training the next generation of biologists to solve important societal problems like improving human health, developing renewable energy, maintaining healthy food and water supplies, and sustaining the environment. These teaching and research activities cost millions of dollars, most of which are generously provided by the State of Georgia and federal research grants. However, there are certain activities that are not supported by these funds. These include: seminar series that bring top scientists to Georgia Tech for a few days to present their research and talk to students, student travel to scientific meetings, student awards for outstanding teaching and research, and scientific retreats where graduate students and post-docs present their research and receive critiques from faculty. We are also in the early stages of fund raising for a new Biological Sciences building to be built in the next four years. This building will replace Cherry-Emerson and propel the School into the 21st century with state of the art research labs.
