Many recall the places they stood and the emotions they experienced on September 11, 2001. Yet, with each passing year, memories are shifting from recent remembrances to the chronicles of history. The accounts and stories now play a crucial role in the promise of remembrance. Four Georgia Tech voices who experienced that day firsthand share their stories.
In the late '90s, Georgia Tech purchased 8 acres “across the bridge” from its main campus on the east side of Fifth Street. Two decades later, this area of Midtown is now the bustling, vibrant jewel that is Tech Square.
Vaccinated individuals can still get Covid-19 and transmit it to others. Georgia Tech's Dr. Ben Holton advises that everyone, vaccinated or not, get tested weekly on campus through the asymptomatic testing program.
Through the end of the week, Georgia Tech is offering extra rewards to encourage individuals to get vaccinated and participate in asymptomatic surveillance testing.
