In the heart of Midtown Atlanta, the Georgia Institute of Technology campus was bustling with activity on a recent chilly Monday morning. Students scurried from building to building, and a bicyclist nearly clipped me as he rounded a corner and onto the path where I was walking with Birney Robert. We laughed and I remarked about how long it had been since I stepped foot on a college campus. For Robert, this is all business as usual.

At Georgia Tech, Robert is the Principal Investigator and Curator of the GT-Microsoft Accessibility Research Seed Program. She is also an Event Coordinator at the College of Computing, a role she has held for more than nine years.
