The Georgia Institute of Technology officially installs its eleventh president, G.P. “Bud” Peterson, at an investiture ceremony today. The Institute is using the historic occasion to kick off its efforts to create a strategic vision for the next 25 years.

Under President Peterson’s guidance, Georgia Tech begins its strategic planning process focused on what the Institute will look like in 25 years.

“Georgia Tech has a tradition of excellence that I’m proud to be a part of now,” said Peterson. “Today’s ceremony gives us a chance to reflect on that tradition and begin planning for our future.”

Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue and University System of Georgia Chancellor Erroll Davis highlight the list of speakers officially welcoming Peterson as the Georgia Tech president.
