GSPE Executive Director Amanda Hendley said that the School’s dedication to continuous learning and career development is a key reason why CEE is so deserving of this recognition.

"As a leader in engineering education, Georgia Tech's School of Civil & Environmental Engineering sets a standard for professional growth and development,” Hendley said. “Their commitment to faculty and staff advancement—through mentorship, leadership training, conference support, and even financial incentives for professional licensure—ensures that their team remains at the forefront of innovation.”
