Georgia Tech prides itself on its technological resources, collaborations, high‑quality student body, and its commitment to building an outstanding and diverse community of learning, discovery, and creation. We strongly encourage applicants whose values align with our institutional values, as outlined in our Strategic Plan. These values include academic excellence, diversity of thought and experience, inquiry and innovation, collaboration and community, and ethical behavior and stewardship.

Georgia Tech has policies to promote a healthy work‑life balance and is aware that attracting faculty may require meeting the needs of two careers.

Georgia Tech is a top‑ranked public research university situated in the heart of Atlanta, a diverse and vibrant city with numerous economic and cultural strengths. The Institute serves more than 45,000 students through top‑ranked undergraduate, graduate, and executive programs in engineering, computing, science, business, design, and liberal arts. Georgia Tech’s faculty attracted more than $1.4 billion in research awards this past year in fields ranging from biomedical technology to artificial intelligence, energy, sustainability, semiconductors, neuroscience, and national security.

Georgia Tech ranks among the nation’s top 20 universities for research and development spending and No. 1 among institutions without a medical school.

Georgia Tech’s mission is to develop leaders who advance technology and improve the human condition.

• Students are our top priority.
• We strive for excellence.
• We thrive on diversity.
• We celebrate collaboration.
• We champion innovation.
• We safeguard freedom of inquiry and expression.
• We nurture the wellbeing of our community.
• We act ethically.
• We are responsible stewards.

Over the next decade, Georgia Tech will become an example of inclusive innovation, a leading technological research university of unmatched scale, relentlessly committed to serving the public good; breaking new ground in addressing the biggest local, national, and global challenges and opportunities of our time; making technology broadly accessible; and developing exceptional, principled leaders from all backgrounds ready to produce novel ideas and create solutions with real human impact.

Ignite is Georgia Tech’s largest first‑year summer launch program. Each year, we welcome 400–500 newly admitted first‑year students to begin their yellow jacket journey during the late‑short summer semester. Our goal each year is to provide our students with the tools and insights necessary to not only have a successful transition into our community, but to also enter their first full semester with a clearer picture of how to maximize their experience throughout their time at Georgia Tech.

Ignite students take 2–3 courses, become familiar with our team and other staff/faculty on‑campus, learn how to navigate campus, and build a community of friends to ignite (pun intended) their experience at Georgia Tech. With over 130 events offered during Ignite 2025, we take pride in providing opportunities for Ignite students to meet people, get to know campus, and have fun.

This position gives the successful candidate a chance to be on our leadership team in a highly collaborative environment with over a dozen campus partners involved in our program’s success. The collaboration and communication between these campus partners and the incoming students and their families is crucial to the success of Ignite. We are excited to welcome a graduate assistant and believe in our ability to provide the successful candidate with a plethora of experiences to enhance their graduate student experience.

Proposed dates of the Ignite Graduate Assistantship:
May – August 2026. Dates can be negotiated as needed.

This position reports to the Senior Director of Development, Student Experience and has a dual reporting structure with OUESS and Georgia Tech Development.
