Honor Recognizes Computing Alums’ Positive Impact

The size of the College’s alumni community has more than tripled since 2016. The only thing keeping pace with this exponential growth is the global impact of these alumni across a spectrum of fields and industries.

Representing all those who are “creating a buzz near and far,” three GT Computing alumni are part of the recently announced Georgia Tech Alumni 40 under 40 Class of 2023. They are Musheer Ahmed, Stuart Michelson, and Kyle Woumn. The Georgia Tech Alumni Association announced the new class on July 20.

“It’s a pleasure to see Musheer, Stuart, and Kyle being recognized for their achievements and success with this honor,” said Dean of Computing Charles Isbell, who also holds the John P. Imlay Jr. Chair.

“They are excellent representatives and incredible examples of how our alumni are using their unique talents and know-how to shape and influence their communities, and indeed, the broader world in which we live.”
