ITA Liaison
As your Liaisons, our goal is to be here to support you in your Teaching Assistant work at Georgia Tech. We want to make it easier for you to do a great job!
Arriving in a country where you will be studying a very challenging program in another language is stressful enough to add to having to teach in a second language.
We want you to know you are a very valuable part of our learning community.
