Positive Southern Cultural Identity

The statement that when the topic of the south comes up, negative stereotypes come to the minds of many is true and unfortunate. To find proof that the south is not just full of underdeveloped rednecks, you need not look further than right here at Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech boasts one of the top engineering colleges in the world and is one of the top Public schools in this country. On top of that, Tech is on the cutting edge of many research opportunities in various fields. It also maintains the southern tradition of southern atheletic excellence with its varsity football and basketball programs nationally ranked. The institution does all of this in Atlanta, the culturally vibrant heart of the south.
