Georgia Chamber [00:02:07.21] [00:02:07.21] some organizations like that so we touch on a lot of external areas but we're [00:02:13.18] [00:02:13.18] broken into four different units Community Relations Chris will talk to [00:02:17.23] [00:02:17.23] you about that talk about everything we do with city of Atlanta with especially [00:02:23.09] [00:02:23.09] our neighbors of the west side and

[00:03:28.15] so we've got most of our books here today and we in our close Rock we're [00:03:34.16] [00:03:34.16] adding one on Monday Rasha throat Shores and Industry [00:03:38.19] [00:03:38.19] collaboration as sensitive ee that helped me get my [00:03:44.12] [00:03:44.12] straight right now so we're going to have one more added to that who do we [00:03:50.21] [00:03:50.21] serve to our constituents we did talk about a little bit but everybody for [00:03:55.03] [00:03:55.03] members of the community in many ways we engage see different places we don't run [00:04:39.09] [00:04:39.09] the state a lot what's really important to us is that everyone that's were [00:04:44.18] [00:04:44.18] protect understands we are a state university we are part of the statement [00:04:49.12] [00:04:49.12] when we're honest an Atlanta University versity years of serving the entire [00:04:56.02] [00:04:56.02] state progress in services our motto founded in 1885 as a reaction to trying [00:05:04.12] [00:05:04.12] to become an industrialized Society for the state of Georgia and so that's why [00:05:08.15] [00:05:08.15] we're here that's what we do and so we really try to engage all over you'll see [00:05:13.09] [00:05:13.09] again through reports authority at the top president rarely he's making his way [00:05:18.06] [00:05:18.06] around state getting they introduced to the state and he's coming back to we [00:05:22.20] [00:05:22.20] went to the Port Authority which is in a making places you've never been there [00:05:28.11] [00:05:28.11] is unbelievable before birth experience started July this summer [00:05:34.03] [00:05:34.03] representative Lewis was available at [00:05:38.21] [00:05:39.01] the huge president was just given a resolution of the seeking resolution [00:05:50.03] [00:05:50.03] went for the House and Senate Senate lieutenant governor jump into is a [00:05:55.03] [00:05:55.03] Georgia Tech Imam on his left and then on his right is it also a senator people [00:06:01.18] [00:06:01.18] are gives up only in the Senate we have six six alums in five minutes it's very [00:06:12.13] [00:06:12.13] different than our our friend and colleague to the east has a graduate [00:06:23.03] [00:06:23.03] very few there break into this body picture this is another this show the [00:06:29.10] [00:06:29.10] corporation's we talk to you this is Lockheed Martin out in Marietta and we [00:06:33.14] [00:06:33.14] worked so much with lucky mark you're such a pipeline for this for the police [00:06:37.14] [00:06:37.14] and also just federal contracting rare from the peanut Commission a lot and she [00:06:52.09] [00:06:52.09] says one of his very first weeks here we went down to Austin Tipton and Harry and [00:06:58.11] [00:06:58.11] all this and women said okay let's stop the peanut Commission because president [00:07:04.13] [00:07:04.13] Ramsey loves peanuts he loves me and so we went to stop by and the director told [00:07:11.03] [00:07:11.03] them all about the great work that Georgia Tech does to help the peanut [00:07:14.14] [00:07:14.14] industry in Georgia so we tell that story all the time and it really shows [00:07:18.23] [00:07:18.23] how to be [00:07:21.12] [00:07:22.05] again these are just different corporations companies Greg's going to [00:07:25.20] [00:07:25.20] talk to you about all the work he does corporate innovation centers over in [00:07:29.23] [00:07:29.23] tech square and we work so much with many of our partners and now very [00:07:38.10] [00:07:38.10] quickly on the University System of Georgia [00:07:40.13] [00:07:40.13] so our office is also the primary liaison to the Board of Regents we have [00:07:46.03] [00:07:46.03] many others and Georgia Tech to work with that where Regents is our governing [00:07:50.23] [00:07:50.23] body peers one of 26 institutions public institutions in the state of Georgia we [00:07:56.10] [00:07:56.10] were one of four research institutions and this more is our governing body for [00:08:02.06] [00:08:02.06] all of those 2619 number Board of Regents one for every congressional [00:08:06.22] [00:08:06.22] district and 14 congressional districts in Georgia and then five at-large [00:08:11.15] [00:08:11.15] representatives they are all appointed by the governor and they are all [00:08:15.13] [00:08:15.13] appointed for seven year terms and so right and the governor is it was an odd [00:08:21.09] [00:08:21.09] fluke the way it went and we got to a point five new Regents in January of [00:08:25.20] [00:08:25.20] this year so we're going out by brand-new Regents and one in November of [00:08:30.17] [00:08:30.17] last year so he gets to a point as there they also avoid the Chancellor and they [00:08:39.14] [00:08:39.14] elect the Chancellor and so our Chancellor is Steve Wrigley he's been [00:08:43.16] [00:08:43.16] our Chancellor for about three years I believe he was a ugh [00:08:48.06] [00:08:48.06] use cheap safe girlfriend seller Soviet Georgia 100 point out section Solyndra [00:08:57.18] [00:08:57.18] he is our chair this year in music George tackle on here the very proud [00:09:01.22] [00:09:01.22] Georgia Tech Alana we're so excited to have him as our chair of the Board of [00:09:06.04] [00:09:06.04] Regents he his father his uncle and his brother and his sister are all [00:09:12.14] [00:09:12.14] engineering alright so they can give you the overview of our whole office so it [00:09:45.05] [00:09:45.05] varies so accumulations if you think in terms of what our office does think [00:09:53.16] [00:09:53.16] state better or kind of clear or can be common common sense the great area and [00:09:59.05] [00:09:59.05] so that includes local government primarily as its we sit the center of [00:10:02.07] [00:10:02.07] the city the US schools neighborhoods nonprofits doing that cyber testing [00:10:12.15] [00:10:15.15] everything else did not state or federal rules somehow I touch and so he's um [00:10:22.14] [00:10:22.14] kind of keep the way I kind of look at this is if you draw five mile radius [00:10:26.15] [00:10:26.15] around the campus that's kind of you to beat you can pack period every city and [00:10:30.20] [00:10:30.20] so those are the prime areas that I focus on but little bit earlier that [00:10:35.01] [00:10:35.01] we're not going pretty confined to that we are a state institution so therefore [00:10:39.11] [00:10:39.11] whenever are not talking here at the state always yeah but for you if you [00:10:43.02] [00:10:43.02] want to find a way to get to tech I'll make it happen [00:10:45.04] [00:10:45.04] visit whatever I feel really important response [00:10:51.00] [00:10:51.00] particularly when you get to areas of the state where there's very little [00:10:54.21] [00:10:54.21] representation of kids that have the opportunity to study things that get [00:10:57.19] [00:10:57.19] them here and for people that work in Halloween wage jobs a lot of what we do [00:11:02.09] [00:11:02.09] doesn't necessarily touch their lives but we still work and so the dynamic [00:11:08.20] [00:11:08.20] guard I try to make a way to touch everybody to make sure that they [00:11:11.14] [00:11:11.14] understand that they have a place in doing that I found the best way that's [00:11:15.17] [00:11:15.17] kind of just a personal things about work defending the lobbying field for a [00:11:20.19] [00:11:20.19] long time so one area of kind of touching people that I think everybody [00:11:26.08] [00:11:26.08] agrees with his kids so the neighbors to the west of us or to this to the [00:11:30.19] [00:11:30.19] northwest wherever they might not like something for doing so party might feel [00:11:34.17] [00:11:34.17] like approach in your community or we have a lot of students that where houses [00:11:39.03] [00:11:39.03] over there that might have that if you're on the west of us feel like this [00:11:49.10] [00:11:49.10] is a low-income community you have not done much to serve us and that our fact [00:11:54.07] [00:11:54.07] kind of ordered us bins is along with West Campus clearly says you don't [00:11:58.22] [00:11:58.22] belong here so they're mad and so you can't really [00:12:01.20] [00:12:01.20] go into those communities particularly this without somebody raising an eyebrow [00:12:05.18] [00:12:05.18] why are you good 20 and so the initial bodies we're there were there because [00:12:09.09] [00:12:09.09] we're good the way around that is you were provisions and so if you started to [00:12:14.21] [00:12:14.21] focus on touching people through schools it's an easy access point because while [00:12:19.13] [00:12:19.13] they might not like you they have a hard time pushing back your they're doing [00:12:23.15] [00:12:23.15] something for their kids and so I've always approached this is the way into [00:12:27.01] [00:12:27.01] community is through school because if you go through schools you're not going [00:12:30.13] [00:12:30.13] to be a lot of pushback there but not like tech like which throws in but [00:12:34.01] [00:12:34.01] you're doing something that couldn't reach the life of their kids they will [00:12:37.07] [00:12:37.07] buy into whatever and so that's really kind of way I think about how but we're [00:12:44.21] [00:12:44.21] down to the program office and so one of the things you know every when I started [00:12:49.21] [00:12:49.21] one of the things that we did we worked really closely with sighs meet him and I [00:12:53.08] [00:12:53.08] just we've heard of this kind of sizes prr because they provide control [00:12:58.08] [00:12:58.08] services for students but they didn't do a lot of [00:13:02.05] [00:13:02.05] marketing promotional that they did we played that role and what we also did [00:13:08.07] [00:13:08.07] love we were kind of lean on efficient 810 I'll say K 10 because if you were [00:13:12.21] [00:13:12.21] 11th or 12th grader you kind of felt another perspective student bucket so [00:13:16.06] [00:13:16.06] admissions would get involved admission is nothing else second graders [00:13:19.01] [00:13:19.01] we did we actually will hold no great day but was that from that we've never [00:13:26.15] [00:13:26.15] turned down anybody your first grade teacher my first grade teachers look you [00:13:34.06] [00:13:34.06] might get it here they think it's do it and so we've never [00:13:37.09] [00:13:37.09] turned that down and so it's something to have the kids holding the whole class [00:13:44.05] [00:13:46.09] smaller cuter they're really cute and so we do a lot of it because again [00:13:51.11] [00:13:51.11] universities are responsibilities and the younger the better so with that [00:13:59.22] [00:13:59.22] being said summer camps is something that's really really popular in common [00:14:03.06] [00:14:03.06] and again seismic has limited capacity it's also rather expensive it costs [00:14:07.01] [00:14:07.01] particular balance and so there are a number of other entities that then host [00:14:12.12] [00:14:12.12] programs in camps inside thick that aren't related to tech and so if you [00:14:16.16] [00:14:16.16] have a program of some type of permit you can great space now it's a lot more [00:14:21.19] [00:14:21.19] structure than it used to be before it was not researching I have time the [00:14:26.07] [00:14:26.07] laboratory but there's like a show up we'll get room and you just start doing [00:14:30.17] [00:14:30.17] stuff thank you guys a lot more structure than it used to be is a lot [00:14:34.06] [00:14:34.06] less stressful for us but we still are the are met when we're not talking lots [00:14:38.14] [00:14:38.14] of summer programs are available and some that are a little more accessible [00:14:43.23] [00:14:44.04] what I mean that we'd be trying to do at least every election cycle is whole city [00:14:49.11] [00:14:49.11] leaders here because sitting the latter are know where you [00:14:54.22] [00:14:54.22] were detectives they know what they don't think them what we do and so one [00:14:58.10] [00:14:58.10] of the things I highlight kind of our contribution to the city so it's not [00:15:04.01] [00:15:04.01] just a teaching environment and just how that plays out and these two that I've [00:15:19.05] [00:15:19.05] been involved with have been capstone courses to CD regional planning most [00:15:24.16] [00:15:24.16] recently it was one to stove school and that was really looking at both the [00:15:29.22] [00:15:29.22] largest property owner properties in the city that laugh with the shifting [00:15:34.00] [00:15:34.00] demographics of Atlanta they needed some couple kind of understanding what our [00:15:38.13] [00:15:38.13] schools that were potentially get rid of itself other purposes were school that [00:15:42.11] [00:15:42.11] need to look at the purposing for school given the demographic shift of these [00:15:45.15] [00:15:45.15] communities do you deserve community so since we are connected to a lot of [00:15:57.03] [00:15:57.03] nonprofits I serve on six boards six now these six boards up steps involved with [00:16:05.16] [00:16:05.16] a number of awards and and then just the nature of what we do we interface with a [00:16:10.07] [00:16:10.07] lot of organizations nonprofits and so the students think of something they [00:16:15.08] [00:16:15.08] might be involved in we are one of those places basically and we can plug them [00:16:20.23] [00:16:20.23] into a lot of opportunities homeless shelters whatever it is and lastly I [00:16:35.09] [00:16:35.09] mentioned the race day which is a lot of fun you ever want to see a jolt of [00:16:39.23] [00:16:39.23] energy we have about two hundred little ray kids [00:16:42.19] [00:16:42.19] Stephanie upstairs sure so I'm going to transfer [00:16:55.18] [00:16:55.18] the calling talking about state relations yep [00:17:01.00] [00:17:01.00] good morning my name is color child's relations and then I'm going to do my [00:17:11.23] [00:17:11.23] best I work with Morgan but we're your team [00:17:14.21] [00:17:14.21] at the State Capitol every day those of you don't know as a part-time [00:17:18.19] [00:17:18.19] legislature just started back to obtain work typically it finishes it didn't [00:17:23.09] [00:17:23.09] work you might be going into the summer this is nobody to be deterred but as I [00:17:28.12] [00:17:28.12] said we're gonna die on your face in front of Jordan the Georgia General [00:17:31.23] [00:17:31.23] Assembly from Constantine and I spent about four years of the Georgia House of [00:17:35.05] [00:17:35.05] Representatives for a came through the deck but also the face in front of the [00:17:39.21] [00:17:39.21] governor's office and executive agencies when they have questions and the [00:17:43.11] [00:17:43.11] legislators have questions on how tecnique access they were the we're at [00:17:47.06] [00:17:47.06] the forefront of those questions and building a little instead they also were [00:17:51.06] [00:17:51.06] the university system and Board of Regents advocate or assistant Wyatt [00:17:57.02] [00:17:57.05] so huge number of higher education institution article article number one [00:18:02.04] [00:18:02.04] priority every session is a funny related issue so our cat made capital [00:18:07.03] [00:18:07.03] project we're going after the session is thirty point seven million dollars in [00:18:10.04] [00:18:10.04] box or text where phase three will be two hours in tech square across Bolivia [00:18:15.01] [00:18:15.01] Business School is now both have college business school that doesn't appear in [00:18:22.12] [00:18:22.12] the state hopefully we'll be giving us fifty five [00:18:26.06] [00:18:26.06] million dollars by next year if you all pay attention to the news the other big [00:18:38.06] [00:18:38.06] budget items this year's the disagreements that are happening between [00:18:42.10] [00:18:42.10] legislation the government conditions given that revenue not a minutes fastest [00:18:49.22] [00:18:49.22] as expected the governor requested foreign 6% reduction community of state [00:18:54.21] [00:18:54.21] programs including something we like the term B units state capital for Georgia [00:19:00.06] [00:19:00.06] Tech that would refer to tech Research Institute as well as private innovation [00:19:05.04] [00:19:05.04] so we're engaging our House and Senate leadership in those budget discussions [00:19:10.00] [00:19:10.00] the impact should be restored I would also be remiss those are our priorities [00:19:25.09] [00:19:25.09] right we get to the capital in definitely something likes to come up [00:19:28.11] [00:19:28.11] that polls are a different way so for this second that particular [00:19:33.21] [00:19:33.21] Senate bill that would mandate early action numbers for all for research [00:19:37.15] [00:19:37.15] information across the across the first Pacifica that us toward estate [00:19:42.11] [00:19:42.11] investment University we're uh really engaging popular Senate counterparts to [00:19:47.17] [00:19:47.17] talk about how that would be financial hit for for Georgia Tech but also would [00:19:53.18] [00:19:53.18] really interfere with our ability to maintain a good system innovation beyond [00:20:03.21] [00:20:03.21] those to the budget and legislative I had some organized early committees [00:20:07.18] [00:20:07.18] identifying opportunities housing sitting together build our brand and [00:20:12.13] [00:20:12.13] share that we conservative state there's a lot of people in all these are its [00:20:25.02] [00:20:25.02] radius then and so we've been a big issue draw a distinction a lot of [00:20:30.11] [00:20:30.11] communities across the state as between sixty percent the population doesn't [00:20:33.10] [00:20:33.10] have access to reliable broadband so we've been asked young researchers that [00:20:38.06] [00:20:38.06] could possibly about the deaths we brought a gentleman dr. Chile's from our [00:20:41.03] [00:20:41.03] College engineering my house leaders have been involved in half was called a [00:20:45.02] [00:20:45.02] fool felony counselor to take over yeah probably an issuer the past couple years [00:20:49.10] [00:20:49.10] he were engaging see you know there's a way [00:20:53.16] [00:20:53.16] that both feasibility studies I didn't mind you taking office the statement [00:20:59.13] [00:20:59.13] leverage to build a more sustainable fiscal manner health informatics no idea [00:21:06.16] [00:21:06.16] this existed within GTRI but if health informatics division delivers dated to [00:21:12.09] [00:21:12.09] help it's already working with the state develop software platform to talk to [00:21:17.15] [00:21:17.15] each other better but also identify actionable items mistaken contain good [00:21:22.07] [00:21:22.07] health problems so one area we're trying to see if we can help but there's the [00:21:26.09] [00:21:26.09] state maternal mortality crisis the biggest issue in that is lack of data [00:21:31.08] [00:21:31.08] because saw her laugh once and talk with each other the doctors fail to report [00:21:34.23] [00:21:34.23] because it's to do it but in a paper rather than my computerized system we're [00:21:39.05] [00:21:39.05] trying to see it digitized to have all the state exactly one modern [00:21:43.08] [00:21:43.08] let's do act technology you're not next what we've got you're really good at [00:21:47.14] [00:21:47.14] every cultural technology Lynn mentioned are a CRP program research program over [00:21:54.23] [00:21:54.23] GTRI assault and Krisztina yields across the [00:21:57.21] [00:21:57.21] state in South Jordan and you mostly work closely with the poultry industry [00:22:01.07] [00:22:01.07] to make their processes more efficient we can be noted that chicken a lot [00:22:05.22] [00:22:05.22] faster thanks today's here finally smart communities that reverse doing a program [00:22:16.14] [00:22:16.14] yeah for communities around the state to mentor a to rural and identifies [00:22:22.12] [00:22:22.12] infrastructure problems and they need help with met her and gives public yes [00:22:26.19] [00:22:26.19] the traffic and I think this is my slide too by the way I kind of be any at least [00:22:38.18] [00:22:38.18] help manage the or exactly how to manage the Georgia [00:22:42.04] [00:22:42.04] Legislature internship program we have 12 students of a capital placed in [00:22:46.13] [00:22:46.13] really great offices who know about the legislative process to give our face to [00:22:51.23] [00:22:51.23] others there's with that [00:22:57.19] [00:23:05.07] hi I'm Robin ass I'm Joanna the relations team by Jeff Cohen who is our [00:23:10.19] [00:23:10.19] associate director so I make stuff in DC just on campus all of our colleagues [00:23:17.20] [00:23:17.20] here so in federal relations you know like you said it's someone obvious you [00:23:23.15] [00:23:23.15] know our our stakeholders our federal government but that plays up a lot of [00:23:27.13] [00:23:27.13] different ways so Congressional branch where Jeff and I have some experience [00:23:32.11] [00:23:32.11] working as those color actually in the executive branch which is used so a [00:23:37.08] [00:23:37.08] place like Georgia Tech where is you probably know we've actually hit a [00:23:41.09] [00:23:41.09] billion dollars in research which but this is a pretty rare by deer across the [00:23:45.17] [00:23:45.17] country about 70 percent roughly that is is provided by the federal government [00:23:51.06] [00:23:51.06] that's slightly above average of universities in the country well [00:23:55.12] [00:23:55.12] particularly unique about perspectives were really diverse that's a lot of [00:23:58.13] [00:23:58.13] different federal agencies it's compared to like that Giverny we're just almost [00:24:02.10] [00:24:02.10] all up there but our funding from NIH for example so for Georgia Tech DoD is [00:24:07.07] [00:24:07.07] our biggest funder and back with the largest Beauty funded University in the [00:24:11.00] [00:24:11.00] country the largest public land after Johns Hopkins and if you look at sort of [00:24:17.05] [00:24:17.05] overall funding we're right after my teeth sort of just look at schools [00:24:21.23] [00:24:21.23] without a medical school so it's you know it's at a level that is really [00:24:28.20] [00:24:28.20] really something to be proud of so the way Jeff and I play into that obviously [00:24:33.15] [00:24:33.15] there's all these great researchers going out when he sees these awards is [00:24:38.01] [00:24:38.01] we try to help out when there's you know new funding opportunities that people [00:24:42.17] [00:24:42.17] may not be aware of or we try to help out if there's Gemini this morning met [00:24:47.12] [00:24:47.12] with a faculty members minute or second or two months and you know we discussed [00:24:53.14] [00:24:53.14] probably 10 different agencies we did pursue funding [00:24:57.05] [00:24:57.05] that's what we go through sort of that grand one-on-one level - you know [00:25:01.08] [00:25:01.08] advocating for a research funding burden for entire agencies couple things sighs [00:25:07.23] [00:25:07.23] one of the highlight that we do so we'll bring people in campus interact with our [00:25:11.22] [00:25:11.22] administrators or researchers that's you know people like the NASA [00:25:17.16] [00:25:17.16] Administrator last year was on campus the new leader of the economic [00:25:20.22] [00:25:20.22] development administration which is a agency that was funded he I squared [00:25:24.18] [00:25:24.18] for decades and in the S word is done really well with the goal Center medical [00:25:29.13] [00:25:29.13] innovation over in tap really only exists because of a grant from Indiana [00:25:34.23] [00:25:34.23] so those are the types of stakeholders that we'll have and he was coming to [00:25:39.02] [00:25:39.02] check up on sort of how these investments have been used in Georgia [00:25:43.10] [00:25:43.10] Tech so we're excited to host what we'll send in to patients and people like that [00:25:47.05] [00:25:47.05] sometimes they just invite themselves we're always happy to host those folks [00:25:51.06] [00:25:51.06] like that while have members of Congress here so that usually members a punch [00:25:56.06] [00:25:56.06] from Georgia but I never once a while will get members of Congress from other [00:25:59.12] [00:25:59.12] places we kind of get up to four last year when the NASA Administrator was [00:26:02.23] [00:26:02.23] here we had him and homage to Congress from Northwest Georgia so the incentive [00:26:07.22] [00:26:07.22] for the NASA Administrator to have actually Graceland is this a common [00:26:12.20] [00:26:12.20] grace is on the committee there proves NASA's budget every year so it's really [00:26:17.12] [00:26:17.12] cool because we're explaining our students and researchers explain things [00:26:20.16] [00:26:20.16] the NASA Administrator and then he's turning and translating it to the member [00:26:24.12] [00:26:24.12] of Congress which is for a non-technical person like me was particularly [00:26:27.19] [00:26:27.19] beneficial to having to do that so so we love that visit last year we also you [00:26:35.10] [00:26:35.10] know will pitch Georgia Tech next verse to testify for Congress so just a couple [00:26:39.15] [00:26:39.15] weeks ago our executive vice president for research dr. Abdullah testified [00:26:44.18] [00:26:44.18] before the House Science Committee on on a hearing title losing ground you know [00:26:51.05] [00:26:51.05] suppose non-critical technology it's like AI quantum systems and things [00:26:55.20] [00:26:55.20] like that and he was one of three witnesses he's there with Eric Schmidt [00:26:59.16] [00:26:59.16] the former CEO of Google and the chair of the National Science Board so I was a [00:27:04.11] [00:27:04.11] real treat to be the only University with the stare for the Health Science [00:27:09.04] [00:27:09.04] Committee and this is a hearing that the committee was using to set the tone for [00:27:13.07] [00:27:13.07] the rest of this year so it was one of their first series of the years full [00:27:16.12] [00:27:16.12] committee so we were really excited by that just so you know the way that end [00:27:20.06] [00:27:20.06] up point out is we had a decent warning we probably had my first camp was [00:27:25.03] [00:27:25.03] probably about a month Val and then it's sort of like a little bit of speed [00:27:30.01] [00:27:30.01] dating and that they're sort of feeling us out for the appropriateness of him as [00:27:34.02] [00:27:34.02] a witness and then we're scrambling to figure out what we would say he's chosen [00:27:38.06] [00:27:38.06] and about two weeks out we get the official invitation and then it's just [00:27:41.22] [00:27:41.22] this mad dash to to work on his written testimony which could be of any length [00:27:46.09] [00:27:46.09] isn't enough being about six pages and then is oral or verbal testimony which [00:27:52.13] [00:27:52.13] has to be five minutes or less there's my Goodman is testifying for this exact [00:27:58.02] [00:27:58.02] same committee before so he knows the drill but sort of how you conduct [00:28:02.23] [00:28:02.23] yourself is very important in that environment [00:28:05.04] [00:28:05.04] also it's important is is the substance of what you're saying but this is also a [00:28:09.02] [00:28:09.02] realist way to influence policy but it's also a way to just sort of wave the [00:28:15.07] [00:28:15.07] drawer detect laughing and really enhance our brand because all of our [00:28:19.12] [00:28:19.12] colleagues at universities around the country we're paying attention to that [00:28:22.16] [00:28:22.16] hearing if they do what I do so we also do it at all federal research [00:28:27.03] [00:28:27.03] development so it turns attack some of the reasons you have an office it's just [00:28:30.18] [00:28:30.18] called research development we're sort of tiptoeing our way into getting there [00:28:34.07] [00:28:34.07] early attack but Jeff and I'll try to identify opportunities and it's one [00:28:38.06] [00:28:38.06] thing just to kind of pass along an opportunity but we'll work with IRI [00:28:41.19] [00:28:41.19] directors or others on campus to kind of try to just figure out how do we advance [00:28:47.10] [00:28:47.10] our chance of being successful I'm not talking about individual investigator [00:28:51.05] [00:28:51.05] lawyers I'm talking about larger reward so the EVP our office of the last five [00:28:55.16] [00:28:55.16] years or so has gotten much more engaged with less more resources for example in [00:29:00.00] [00:29:00.00] the helping us win an NSF Engineering Research Center you know that process I [00:29:04.16] [00:29:04.16] think historically is a great essential asset or detect but it's something that [00:29:08.20] [00:29:08.20] we work very very closely with the EPR office and IRI directors so I floated [00:29:15.07] [00:29:15.07] about having agency s on the campus so one thing we work on a little bit it's [00:29:20.15] [00:29:20.15] trying to encourage to respect people give federal update throughout the [00:29:26.03] [00:29:26.03] federal government just like in Georgia tactically is it [00:29:28.23] [00:29:28.23] there are these advisory boards and it's a good opportunity to really kind of get [00:29:34.03] [00:29:34.03] advanced intelligence I'll sort of shape the priorities of those business that [00:29:39.09] [00:29:39.09] great response and a lot of these things will happen on any play but what happens [00:29:46.20] [00:29:46.20] is we will try to look for a gap so there's an area that we know Georgia [00:29:50.16] [00:29:50.16] Tech has good expertise that we're good at but there hasn't been a Georgia Tech [00:29:54.03] [00:29:54.03] personnel happy seriously to agree your time so we've had some up there try to [00:29:59.09] [00:29:59.09] press that so we do a ton of advocacy as some of you may have heard the news the [00:30:06.01] [00:30:06.01] president released his budget on Monday this is the general cycle of how this [00:30:10.03] [00:30:10.03] works there were a couple things like in there a lot of things who did like it [00:30:15.01] [00:30:15.01] was consistent with his last few budgets that he's released we've been very [00:30:18.03] [00:30:18.03] grateful if Congress has reversed a lot of the cuts for example he again [00:30:22.04] [00:30:22.04] proposes eliminate our Vee and agency the Georgia Tech has been one of the [00:30:25.23] [00:30:25.23] best in the country works from so we'll fight really hard [00:30:28.22] [00:30:28.22] for Congress to prevent that from happening [00:30:32.10] [00:30:32.10] he's just a custom IH NSF federal work-study so we don't just advocate on [00:30:38.18] [00:30:38.18] research there's also things like Pell grants work-study education issues and [00:30:43.11] [00:30:43.11] and so will buy art for that we generally go with about we have a list [00:30:48.01] [00:30:48.01] about twenty items so we call a programmatic request but we'll send to [00:30:51.20] [00:30:51.20] our congressional delegation not twenty-two every office but just to say [00:30:56.03] [00:30:56.03] these new Georgia Tech Pro we appreciate what you can do that help help here I [00:31:00.11] [00:31:00.11] know when I worked on Capitol Hill I really heard from people about the [00:31:04.16] [00:31:04.16] importance of funding research so if you're ever thinking about reaching out [00:31:07.23] [00:31:07.23] here Congress Jeff and I are more than happy to help you figure out how to do [00:31:11.23] [00:31:11.23] that you know it's obviously our responsibility to do that but it is [00:31:15.02] [00:31:15.02] sometimes a little bit of a numbers game and and you wonder why all these debates [00:31:20.11] [00:31:20.11] you're watching about such elections I'll ask about science you know it's [00:31:24.09] [00:31:24.09] just not the public it's just not in the public discourse [00:31:28.01] [00:31:28.01] probably like it should be and so on so if you ever want to engage in that way [00:31:32.14] [00:31:32.14] in a productive way we're happy to work with you there we also have started [00:31:37.13] [00:31:37.13] earlier called the federal Jackman's fellowship so we don't come across tons [00:31:41.14] [00:31:41.14] of George Tagalongs just like oh I've noted in the State Capitol they work in [00:31:45.20] [00:31:45.20] the Congress we've got three alums of 535 members of Congress and two of those [00:31:51.03] [00:31:51.03] are not in Georgia and so we also don't have tons of the lungs that working [00:31:56.06] [00:31:56.06] staff levels so about eight or nine years ago with the generous support of [00:31:59.10] [00:31:59.10] fellows we started this fellowship so we fund to students in spring to the fall [00:32:03.22] [00:32:03.22] by the summer we also have a program that our strategic energy Institute [00:32:08.11] [00:32:08.11] funds to place interns working energy policy that main thing the reason we do [00:32:14.06] [00:32:14.06] that we're trying to build that warranty mom's there working government we [00:32:19.01] [00:32:19.01] haven't had tons of success I like to think that we were making our students [00:32:23.13] [00:32:23.13] and moms to be more oriented towards size technology policy but history has [00:32:28.13] [00:32:28.13] shown us that they still are going and working elsewhere after they graduate so [00:32:33.04] [00:32:33.04] if you have any questions about that program I can answer it [00:32:35.14] [00:32:35.14] I just vision about leadership rock paper really quickly because that's [00:32:38.12] [00:32:38.12] something we do in conjunction with this new communications and with other [00:32:42.00] [00:32:42.00] colleagues on campus to try to figure out ways of Bin's [00:32:45.16] [00:32:45.16] or both policy makers and so we've done things at the National Press Club [00:32:50.23] [00:32:50.23] because things like capital bill around topics like within an engineering here [00:32:55.03] [00:32:55.03] black men in stem or we did something in the National Academies on the 10-year [00:33:00.17] [00:33:00.17] anniversary of the birthday Katrina and structure with wing clubs so we're [00:33:04.18] [00:33:04.18] always looking for opportunities like that to just really contribute to the [00:33:09.02] [00:33:09.02] discourse in DC so we have students come up yet back to come up all the time a [00:33:14.22] [00:33:14.22] lifetime sponsor about their party so one way students engaged is there's an [00:33:18.15] [00:33:18.15] ACC client once a year and so all schools in the Atlantic Coast Conference [00:33:22.23] [00:33:22.23] come up and we kind of it's up to you to students to understand the importance of [00:33:28.12] [00:33:28.12] staying engaged and advocating for education and science [00:33:33.16] [00:34:38.03] what is this growing the economy mineral working with inbound investors in that [00:34:53.23] [00:34:53.23] state teams with an interstate part with economic development leads all of those [00:34:59.12] [00:34:59.12] activities for the state of Georgia when they formed their team we believe a [00:35:04.00] [00:35:04.00] higher higher ed representative for that all the times we were we were there [00:35:10.21] [00:35:10.21] representing a variety of Ariston satnaam variety of approaches and [00:35:18.07] [00:35:18.07] sometimes we're in there's more about our university system universities [00:35:26.09] [00:35:28.00] those are the things that they're odd because you know get to go to an adult [00:35:34.03] [00:35:34.03] body what you're working on the nature of that work is that way [00:36:06.12] [00:36:35.06] research as well as so all those things that are designed to accompany get [00:36:44.11] [00:36:44.11] started accelerate we also even that specifically square around a city campus [00:37:08.23] [00:37:09.01] those are unique those are unique relationships with us it's just a [00:37:17.09] [00:37:17.09] different dynamic proximity matters and what we've seen is companies that are [00:37:25.02] [00:37:25.02] close by they are deeply embedded seen the have seen start early and amantha's [00:37:33.18] [00:37:33.18] only Honeywell is just two people lost leader all those employees and leaders [00:37:39.09] [00:37:39.09] are encouraged to step outside their office low tech and Heights that they [00:37:51.09] [00:37:51.09] will be posting to see an article where there was a student that would posted [00:37:56.01] [00:37:56.01] notes on the window and it's an irony and needs your posts respond as opposed [00:38:03.00] [00:38:03.00] to very great low-tech way of doing that [00:38:09.00] [00:38:13.23] various activities that you're seeing technology go to go to walk around the [00:38:29.21] [00:38:29.21] roof is up the mouse you can have sustainable the turtle roof and it's a [00:38:39.03] [00:38:39.03] wonderful experience of building is operating as designed as as an area for [00:38:44.12] [00:38:44.12] collaboration bringing groups together but part of our work is involved in [00:38:49.20] [00:38:49.20] business and that is breaking into teams city [00:38:56.11] [00:38:56.11] there's no Alliance our corporate partners as well as as Inglis bringing [00:39:02.18] [00:39:02.18] those groups together exterminating to keep Texas where as a an energized [00:39:07.02] [00:39:07.02] ecosystem so that we convert this so this is the Titleist slide this item [00:39:20.19] [00:39:20.19] Atlanta's industry strengths but it really is reflective of elements of [00:39:25.00] [00:39:25.00] Georgia as well so you look at Asia technology cyber security a world [00:39:31.03] [00:39:31.03] another small I seem overly connected to the prizes couple ITV color vision the [00:39:36.22] [00:39:36.22] new informatics intravenous lines and all across the serve are stable only [00:39:43.03] [00:39:43.03] industries in some cases but also [00:39:46.22] [00:39:46.22] fundamental technologies that are powering other industries as well this [00:39:50.23] [00:39:50.23] is one of the things that we see in our work is how these intersect with campus [00:39:59.00] [00:40:08.14] Lanta as a as a as an environment metro Atlanta [00:40:15.20] [00:40:17.15] look at how they normally classify that sense of those slide here it isn't you [00:40:22.05] [00:40:22.05] see that all Metro clean the exciting thing about our work is there's all of [00:40:29.03] [00:40:29.03] that into the tech students faculty the staff the activities happening here the [00:40:38.06] [00:40:38.06] great work even by ATV seen a debater or potential I haven't seen some new new [00:40:44.21] [00:40:44.21] activities that have developed over the last several years are bringing more [00:40:50.03] [00:40:50.03] more energy this is density density drives the [00:40:55.06] [00:40:55.06] direction of text weird isn't it in the last quick update on some of the [00:41:02.19] [00:41:02.19] things related to technology swear again this goes to the heart of the ecosystem [00:41:07.16] [00:41:07.16] moving aspect in why economic developer leaves a team effort to see representing [00:41:14.06] [00:41:14.06] with representations on all aspects but the programming place focus energy the [00:41:23.04] [00:41:23.04] Scheller College of Business mobile learning center into the 30 plus [00:41:29.15] [00:41:29.15] overlaps here let us say states know there's a lot of exciting work that it's [00:41:34.12] [00:41:34.12] happening now [00:41:37.04] [00:41:41.15] all right fine questions but I didn't do it though you know just talk about [00:41:48.23] [00:41:48.23] fastest growing industries in Georgia and what we're part of we have a piece [00:41:53.19] [00:41:53.19] in a park in just about everything these are the best construction real [00:41:59.05] [00:41:59.05] estate creams over to our west to our east to everywhere that's big [00:42:05.06] [00:42:05.06] Hospitality and tourism film obviously it's huge in Georgia and FinTech but [00:42:12.01] [00:42:12.01] really still George leading in the streets agribusiness and and we as a [00:42:16.14] [00:42:16.14] state institution are part of that as well and people as father said we don't [00:42:20.06] [00:42:20.06] have an act school we're not an actual but we have a great deal to do with [00:42:25.22] [00:42:25.22] agriculture industry so we touched many many parts before I [00:42:32.21] [00:42:32.21] ask you today - a couple more people from our team because they're here and [00:42:37.03] [00:42:37.03] they may not work exactly with these folks directly but they support us all [00:42:42.01] [00:42:42.01] our Engagement Manager and so she works on all of our events and all everything [00:42:47.08] [00:42:47.08] we do to pull together people to engage our community so shoot here kara over [00:42:52.15] [00:42:52.15] here Craig Martens are our manager of communications and so she's put this [00:42:56.12] [00:42:56.12] together for us but she also just handles all our communications and then [00:43:00.06] [00:43:00.06] Teresa worker right here she handles our finances and [00:43:04.21] [00:43:04.21] helps people when they come into our office so we've got a great team and [00:43:08.15] [00:43:08.15] feel very lucky when I came into this position with September anyone was [00:43:13.07] [00:43:13.07] coming into a really really solid team [00:43:17.14] [00:43:18.00] question yes yeah there's also a corporate relations we have a corporate [00:43:34.10] [00:43:34.10] relationship see they're part of reg actually works very closely with our [00:43:40.07] [00:43:40.07] corporate relations folks we have a couple rooms once called industry [00:43:45.06] [00:43:45.06] collaborations one is called industry engagement we were looking at all of our [00:43:50.06] [00:43:50.06] corporate industry relations right now president Cabrera coming in from outside [00:43:54.13] [00:43:54.13] of Georgia Tech when he came in you felt like it's it's not how those [00:43:59.02] [00:43:59.02] work together how we were with them and so we are right now shall I go and I are [00:44:04.13] [00:44:04.13] actually putting together white new Berkeley Brotherhood and doing [00:44:09.00] [00:44:09.00] discussions on what we see is how those can interact doesn't mean that anyone [00:44:14.06] [00:44:14.06] will change places it's necessarily structurally but we've got to do a [00:44:18.13] [00:44:18.13] better job talking to each other and interacting with each other but on our [00:44:22.05] [00:44:22.05] team bringing from making contact with were really just as an example for any [00:44:33.08] [00:44:33.08] normal person because some [00:44:37.06] [00:45:19.18] so very this question is primarily for calmer than anybody could say expertise [00:45:24.05] [00:45:24.05] why do you think we have to slow numbers of tech residents in your legislature is [00:45:28.22] [00:45:28.22] it just because of the nature of our school other words who we're making [00:45:33.07] [00:45:33.07] money I say that kind of talking if the state legislature legislature you make [00:45:45.21] [00:45:45.21] seventeen thousand three hundred forty dollars a year serve your community and [00:45:49.11] [00:45:49.11] obviously and you really have to have a heart for service and a lot of votes [00:45:52.06] [00:45:52.06] your jobs it's very hard for someone who doesn't know their own businesses these [00:45:56.06] [00:45:56.06] state legislature because you have to find an employer to give you three [00:46:00.11] [00:46:00.11] months out of the year off the ones we have they are extremely committed to [00:46:07.17] [00:46:07.17] Georgia Tech and I find somebody even if they didn't graduate from Georgia Tech [00:46:13.02] [00:46:13.02] has a some kind of connect we're detecting even though UGA might be [00:46:17.08] [00:46:17.08] the big player up everybody still loves us down there and they were really mad [00:46:21.00] [00:46:21.00] especially with going to do that we are violence of Technology no it doesn't [00:46:26.14] [00:46:26.14] hurt us one good be great for you we hear all the time when such a few [00:46:32.10] [00:46:32.10] internationally you know I'm the only one on today but with you going [00:46:45.14] [00:46:45.14] internationally people recognize those are the brands they recognize and so we [00:46:53.20] [00:46:53.20] are reputation and so it does it would be helpful we have more graduates but [00:46:59.22] [00:46:59.22] legislators generally are so supportive of what we do they know we drop you on [00:47:05.08] [00:47:05.08] me in India [00:47:08.11] [00:47:52.03] and it's hard in government things changed quickly and needs change Robert [00:47:58.08] [00:47:58.08] may be able to speak a little bit more to this but we do have this legislative [00:48:02.11] [00:48:02.11] internship program and the peplum Jacke jacket fellowship in DC but I have to [00:48:09.23] [00:48:09.23] say I have so we've got me a graduate students applied a federal Baptist [00:48:17.07] [00:48:17.07] Fellowship and really well the challenge i think like lynn said with government [00:48:23.14] [00:48:23.14] so camera movie you're Gilliam was like 535 small businesses every member of [00:48:28.12] [00:48:28.12] Congress is gonna hire and fire and exactly how they want to do it and they [00:48:33.01] [00:48:33.01] definitely aren't looking the nest egg makeup long term and in fact during the [00:48:36.13] [00:48:36.13] summer they have so much demand when I was a student I did a one-month unpaid [00:48:41.02] [00:48:41.02] at the time a lot of these still are unpaid which is huge detractor for our [00:48:46.05] [00:48:46.05] students a lot of times one month in the summer because they wanted to get as [00:48:50.14] [00:48:50.14] many students up there as possible and on the executive branch side because [00:48:53.22] [00:48:53.22] of like federal labor rules and stuff they just don't have a lot of [00:48:56.19] [00:48:56.19] flexibility in hiring and so for our poor students great food and navigating [00:49:03.01] [00:49:03.01] that is really wrong so but Jeff and I trying to do whether [00:49:07.04] [00:49:07.04] they or a photo check a fellow or not will walk students through I just got a [00:49:10.20] [00:49:10.20] call from undergrad mechanical injury student you graduated May [00:49:15.19] [00:49:15.19] like they want working policies language you told me this earlier you know this [00:49:22.09] [00:49:22.09] is happening periodically we feel like an engineering student right computer [00:49:25.13] [00:49:25.13] science your science student about a year ago against in that realization of [00:49:34.22] [00:49:34.22] entering in on a Pokemon grad students but I have also been able to point [00:49:39.15] [00:49:39.15] graduate students towards really prestigious fellowship so when I was [00:49:42.14] [00:49:42.14] like a lot hired three Triple A s policy Belarus and is this amazing program [00:49:48.07] [00:49:48.07] say hi he's a new ear close so like kind of speed dating from get a match with an [00:49:53.03] [00:49:53.03] executive branch agency or with a congressional office for one to two [00:49:57.04] [00:49:57.04] years and it's funded by an outside organization triple-a asks or like is in [00:50:02.12] [00:50:02.12] the year ACS or one of the scientific societies and that is an amazing [00:50:07.04] [00:50:07.04] springboard for a lot of PhDs recent PhD grads to go and work in government the [00:50:13.18] [00:50:13.18] staffer that dr. Dillon I dealt with for this hearing was a former triple-a [00:50:18.06] [00:50:18.06] expeller and so I steer a lot of our graduate students towards the triple has [00:50:22.08] [00:50:22.08] program there's the National Academies fellowship that's like four months [00:50:26.12] [00:50:26.12] called always go to the bank me Ramirez on or something like that that's the [00:50:30.03] [00:50:30.03] students to do that and then there's the presidential management fellowship [00:50:33.17] [00:50:33.17] program which historically just have to have a master's so we have a lot of [00:50:37.06] [00:50:37.06] Intel Policy graduate students go into that about five years ago the end of the [00:50:41.20] [00:50:41.20] PhD spin track so now it's a great opportunity for Georgia Tech PhD system [00:50:47.12] [00:50:47.12] so the PMF is really think of it like a corporate leadership development program [00:50:52.04] [00:50:52.04] so they're trying to invest in people they're going to stay in government [00:50:54.21] [00:50:54.21] hopefully and so you're not obligated to stay in government but that's that's the [00:51:00.08] [00:51:00.08] intent so the starting programs I try to steer students toward and I'm happy to [00:51:04.06] [00:51:04.06] work with you [00:51:06.13] [00:51:06.14] yeah just not available something that we work with are not so one thing that [00:51:13.10] [00:51:13.10] we also try to stress it's how do we internally look to you know we're [00:51:19.15] [00:51:19.15] talking Industry Relations but if you are somebody national that I have tried [00:51:24.06] [00:51:24.06] to hire our students how can we best work with their branders to get them to [00:51:31.05] [00:51:31.05] come to you to go hiring date or to pitch to our students and it's just [00:51:36.15] [00:51:36.15] little bit different we tarp our our companies to be part of that that day [00:51:42.14] [00:51:42.14] they can't really have that same type of funding so we do kind of work with CTP [00:51:48.02] [00:51:48.02] to to say here's their planters how can we get them campus because we need stem [00:51:53.06] [00:51:53.06] students to go to TDC to be parked over there is a big shortage so some of it is [00:51:57.22] [00:51:57.22] also working with our internal stakeholders to figure out the best way [00:52:01.18] [00:52:01.18] to go undergraduate [00:52:13.19] [00:53:06.16] I'm not some certain economic development I think you never learned [00:53:13.21] [00:53:13.21] for Bali and there are others for my caliber on stage but you g8 has [00:53:17.15] [00:53:17.15] agriculture extensions Asians in every county in the state [00:53:22.03] [00:53:22.03] they are so [00:53:30.22] [00:54:19.18] on the first part of that movie I swear there aren't because 27 offices that [00:54:26.17] [00:54:26.17] believe that the right number are people or offices outside of the metro Atlanta [00:54:31.08] [00:54:31.08] area or within Georgia that really focus on economic development focus on [00:54:36.17] [00:54:36.17] manufacturing extension partnership and he just like UGA years out and works on [00:54:41.14] [00:54:41.14] AG extension we were running a factory decision so we have federal funds that [00:54:45.19] [00:54:45.19] we go out we help small businesses medium sized businesses get more lean [00:54:49.22] [00:54:49.22] get more productive in their manufacturing and so that's something [00:54:54.07] [00:54:54.07] that's worth detect role we play that's a really important role so we have [00:54:58.11] [00:54:58.11] people throughout the state but we don't have lots of people throughout the state [00:55:02.17] [00:55:02.17] and we are not in every County and we do hear about that everybody knows when the [00:55:06.20] [00:55:06.20] UK's in their backyard it's very hard to know unless you have to know that [00:55:10.22] [00:55:10.22] Georgia Tech Health that you know ice company that those the big ice boxes and [00:55:15.23] [00:55:15.23] health increase production you don't get the [00:55:18.23] [00:55:18.23] story about four attackers nine so yes unending high content we do so much and [00:55:25.09] [00:55:25.09] say that we don't talk about Georgia Tech we've got to do a better job [00:55:29.04] [00:55:29.04] communicating and the Institute the impatience with Kara's health and now [00:55:33.22] [00:55:33.22] formative to urban outreach team and so really for us to be able to tell our [00:55:37.16] [00:55:37.16] story better about what we use and where we're going what we do to help this day [00:55:41.03] [00:55:41.03] so I think leads more out there than you realize because we don't talk about it [00:55:45.06] [00:55:45.06] enough so there always will be more out there - quick shut up loser cheater i [00:55:50.02] [00:55:50.02] they have big present someone Robbins it's not just going to is so they do [00:56:58.03] [00:56:58.03] pass scholarship but if you have registration if you don't register like [00:57:08.21] [00:57:08.21] with this first few minute fill up and so there's not going to deny people [00:57:13.03] [00:57:13.03] paying customers to set aside scholarship so even for those who live [00:57:18.15] [00:57:18.15] off the street summer summer camps that I know this I think is all soft money [00:57:33.09] [00:57:33.09] and so if they have a relationship with a school district outside Atlanta [00:57:37.16] [00:57:37.16] they'll take advantage of their one of the biggest worst they had was in SF [00:57:41.01] [00:57:41.01] award called ended up to do manufacturable Griffin Spaulding [00:57:44.12] [00:57:44.12] school system which is well South Atlanta [00:57:47.17] [00:57:47.17] and so you know they did that for years and then they got a significant [00:57:52.23] [00:57:52.23] residents fans so they can base people at our games in Savannah which allows [00:57:56.19] [00:57:56.19] them to do more cage while working Savannah so I'm sure it would be done [00:58:00.20] [00:58:00.20] more we obviously selfishly love the focus outside of the head as well but [00:58:05.23] [00:58:05.23] there are some limitations to me we're in the relationship business we are our [00:58:16.13] [00:58:16.13] job so bring about supporting forces acting [00:58:20.06] [00:58:20.06] so our previous leader vici and Isis look that you'd always say you have to [00:58:25.23] [00:58:25.23] data before you marry a man we're taking a lot out there we're out there trying [00:58:30.06] [00:58:30.06] to make sure people know about ask the other question of figuring out before [00:58:35.08] [00:58:35.08] you know they give us the support we need that it takes a lot of that before [00:58:40.01] [00:58:40.01] you you give those big grants and you give that big money and you get all that [00:58:43.14] [00:58:43.14] support that doesn't just happen you build build build build build and that's [00:58:47.07] [00:58:47.07] what all these people do every day is build that thank you all so much [00:58:53.19] [00:59:04.02] you [00:59:06.03]
