Celebrating Georgia Tech Women: Pathway of Progress is the new name of the forthcoming, permanent tribute to the impact of women from Georgia Tech, now under construction near the John Lewis Student Center and Stamps Commons. Set to open in Fall 2024, the physical installation and accompanying digital experience will celebrate 70 graduates, as well as 98 women and events with historical significance to the Institute. 
The Institute is proud to reveal the inaugural alumnae whose names and legacies will be recognized. The historical honorees will be announced this fall.
The Pathway of Progress was made possible by generous support from Andrea L. Laliberte, IE 1982, M.S. IE 1984, and designed by Merica May Jensen, MGT 2008, M. ARCH 2011. Extending from the ground up to the trees, this tribute comprises 2,946 tensioned mirrored tiles, with 168 of them inscribed with names and stories. With a table and seats at the ground level, the piece will serve as a central gathering space for reflection, contemplation, and celebration of the ongoing work by women from Tech.
 
 
– Shantay N. Bolton, Executive Vice President for Administration and Finance
 
A committee of alumni, faculty, administrators, and students oversaw the criteria and selection process for the inaugural class of honorees. Following a wide call for nominations in Spring 2022, the committee reviewed hundreds of submissions and selected the women whose stories are the foundation for the Pathway. 
Those stories also will be featured in the interactive website for Celebrating Georgia Tech Women. This fall, users will find resources and in-depth information about the people, places, events, and networks represented, extending the experience. 
Plans are underway for celebratory events surrounding Celebrating Georgia Tech Women: Pathway of Progress, including a campuswide event on Nov. 9 during Homecoming week, to include many of the women honorees and their families and friends. 
Moving forward, the Georgia Tech Alumni Association will lead an annual process to nominate and recognize additional women each year, telling the ongoing stories of women from Georgia Tech.
