  <title><![CDATA[The Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute joins Georgia Tech’s Policy Partners]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Over the summer the Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute was invited to join the Georgia Tech Policy Partners. Known as Policy@Tech, this is a consortium of Georgia Tech’s policy research centers and consists of Georgia Tech faculty who have served in administrative or policy positions within government or who have participated in government advisory committees above the peer-review level. Its goal is to increase Georgia Tech’s policy impact by shaping state and national discussions on critical global challenges and catalyzing Tech faculty/student interaction with decision makers.</p><p>“It is an honor for GTMI to be a part of this prestigious group of policy influencers,” said Dr. Wang, executive director, GTMI. “I look forward to working hand in hand with the other Policy Partners, as well as state and national representatives, to improve policies affecting manufacturing and technological innovation.”</p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
