Dr. Louis Martin-Vega, Dean College of Engineering, North Carolina State, who also serves on GEM's Executive Committee congratulated Dr. May on Friday.

Gary has played a tremendous role in developing programs for GEM. His commitment to advancing under-represented minority participation at the graduate level in STEM is clear. We at GEM are truly pleased to hear of his appointment to become the next Dean of Engineering at Georgia Tech!

This year marks the 35th Anniversary of the National GEM Consortium. We will celebrate this milestone with a 35th Anniversary Fundraising Gala featuring nationally recognized celebrity hosts and entertainment on August 3-5, 2011. GEM's President, Alfred Grasso will host a CEO Roundtable, and Georgia Tech's President, Dr. Bud Peterson will convene a University President Roundtable.

If you are interested in inviting your CEO/President/Chancellor to participate in these signature events and/or you wish to advocate for your institution to contribute to GEM's fundraising campaign by sponsoring an event, please send an email to info@gemfellowship.org or call 703-562-3646.

And of course, we will hold our staple events such as membership workshops, the annual board meeting, and student events such as the technical competition, GRAD Lab and FFP. Register Today!
