Eight students have been selected this spring to be Health Systems Institute (HSI) George Fellows. The George Foundation, an organization founded by Tech alum and healthcare executive Bill George, has provided funds for the fellowship.

George’s greatest contribution has been in defining “authentic leadership” in students. Students are expected to be leaders within HSI, Georgia Tech and our Global Community. They are considered to be some of the brightest rising stars among our students. Here are the George Fellows for 2014:
