Following a national search, the vice president for institute diversity (VPID) will have oversight for all diversity-related matters at Georgia Tech, report directly to the president, and serve as a member of the president’s cabinet.

The committee will hold its first meeting in the coming weeks, receive a formal charge from the president, and finalize the position description. Nominations, recommendations, and comments may be directed to Dean Murray-Rust.
