Delighted to welcome our Annual Partners Tuesday to Georgia State University for our final 2024 Partner Breakfast, where we caught up with the companies, firms and institutions that power our #news platform showing how ATL is connected to the world and helping Atlantans engage productively with it. Being on campus gave us the perfect chance to feature the various branches of GSU that support our work, from the Office of International Initiatives to the Atlanta Global Studies Center, GSU-CIBER and the Georgia State University - J. Mack Robinson College of Business. This focus also came at a pivotal moment for GSU, which just started its 25th annual International Education Week activities after announcing a transformative $80M Woodruff Foundation grant, supplemented with $27M more of its own funds, to create a “college town downtown,” in line with the Metro Atlanta Chamber’s focus on downtown revitalization and President Brian Blake's emphasis on place-making at GSU. Having had our offices on Auburn Avenue at Constellations for the last five years, this was welcome news to our team.
