The Atlanta Bridge Program, a pioneering partnership between Georgia Tech and Atlanta Metropolitan State College (AMSC), is redefining what it means to be a transfer student. Officially launched in 2025, the program is designed to ease the transition for students seeking to move from AMSC to Georgia Tech, offering not just academic resources but a sense of belonging and identity as future Yellow Jackets.
At the beginning of each academic year, the Office of Undergraduate Admission hits the road to connect with prospective high school students across the state of Georgia. This year, admission counselors traveled to a record number of Georgia’s 159 counties to share Georgia Tech with more than 8,700 high school students.
Fueled by determination, Chris Rozell became the first in his family to go to college. He continued his education in graduate school, and now conducts research at Tech to find effective treatments for chronic psychiatric disorders.
Rozell’s journey, made possible by federal and community financial support, has allowed him to break the cycle of generational poverty and make an impact on others.
