Of more than 100 faculty advancing human-centered technology research through the GVU Center at Georgia Tech, a full third are women. To celebrate International Women's Day and the release of Captain Marvel on March 8, the center created a data visualization using an image of actress Brie Larson, who plays Captain Marvel. The movie of the same name is the first major MCU film starring a woman. Georgia Tech projects from more than 900 researchers through the years are mapped to the image of Larson and can be searched for more details on the center's work.

GVU also celebrated the day - and hopes to continue the conversation through the year - through a data graphic highlighting some of the women that have inspired its community.

The idea that change was afoot for higher education burst on the public consciousness in 2012 with Sebastian Thrun’s announcement that he had resigned his professorship at Stanford to begin offering free, high-quality college courses to the world. It was a bold statement, but it was only the first. Stanford and MIT each announced shortly afterward that they were offering MOOCs. Salman Khan, founder of the Khan Academy, became a spokesman for short-format lectures that would reach millions. Start-up capital poured into research labs and storefront software companies more reminiscent of the early days of the Internet than of the staid, bureaucratically top-heavy business of running a college. The difference captured the attention of international news media.
