Intel Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer Rosalind L. Hudnell, Intel Scholars Michelle Collins and Sean Rodrigues, and Georgia Tech President G.P. “Bud” Peterson connect at the Focus President’s Dinner. Since the program’s inception, more than 2,500 students from a wide array of colleges and universities across the U.S. have participated in Focus, and at least six Focus alumni have been hired into tenure-track positions at Georgia Tech.
