GRA president to address
Georgia Tech grads

William J. Todd, founding president of the Georgia Research Alliance, will deliver the commencement address at Georgia Tech’s Winter Quarter Commencement on March 20 at 9 a.m. in the Alexander Memorial Coliseum. Approximately 600 students have petitioned to graduate.

The Georgia Research Alliance (GRA) is a strategic partnership of the six research universities in Georgia, joined by the business community and state government, whose purpose is to grow and leverage the state’s research capabilities into economic development results. Since its inception in 1990, the Georgia Research Alliance has raised $750 million through a combination of state, federal and private sources. These funds are invested in eminent scholars, research, facilities and scientific equipment for Georgia’s research universities.

Todd has spent his entire professional career prior to the establishment of the GRA in various administrative assignments in the Emory University System of Health Care, at hospitals, clinics and the School of Medicine. Prior to leading the GRA, he was assistant vice president for Medical Administration at the Robert W. Woodruff Health Sciences Center.

Todd is a 1971 graduate of the College of Management at Georgia Tech and attended the Institute for Educational Management at Harvard University. A fourth generation Atlantan, Todd has been named by Georgia Trend magazine as one of the “100 Most Powerful and Influential People in Georgia” each year since 1996.

At Saturday’s ceremony, Kimberly Winstel will receive the 1998 Outstanding Young Alumni Award. Winstel, an industrial management graduate, is assistant vice president and community relations officer of the public affairs department of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. She is responsible for the daily administrative functions of the department, as well as strategic direction of the Sixth Federal Reserve District’s community relations activities, the District’s intranet and Internet Web sites, and oversees the bank’s civic/governmental relations activities.
