Upcoming Events
Focus Program
Stay tuned for dates for the 2025 Focus Program!
Georgia Tech’s Focus program is one of the nation’s premier graduate recruitment programs designed to attract highly skilled students who have historically been underrepresented in higher education, equipping them with the knowledge and resources necessary to successfully navigate the graduate admissions process. The Ivan Allen College invites approximately twenty Focus Scholars to join us for an annual on-campus visit.
IAC Graduate Conference
Stay tuned for dates for the 2025 Graduate Conference!
Each year, the Ivan Allen College Graduate Student Advisory Board and the Dean's Office host a research conference for all graduate and undergraduate students. Graduate students are invited to present papers or works in progress to receive feedback from other students and faculty in a friendly, collegial environment. Stipends for continuing research are awarded to papers from each session.
