Yes, we still are one of Georgia Tech's best kept wonderful secrets, the (not so) little School with the surprising multidisciplinary degrees and multimodal methodologies. However, we are being noticed much more than we used to: In 2012, we showed up twice in Georgia Tech's Daily Digest; in 2018, we did so 14 times.
