A Letter from the Editor
January, 2008
On behalf of the Editorial Board, I welcome you to the official website of The Tower – Georgia Tech’s new interdisciplinary undergraduate research journal scheduled to be released in the Fall of 2008. The goal of the journal is to showcase the research accomplishments of undergraduates in all disciplines available on campus. By launching a research journal at Georgia Tech we will join the ranks of other top universities in the country and provide the university a medium with which to communicate the high quality and compelling nature of our undergraduate research. A major goal of the journal is diversity and balance, which we hope will also communicate the wide variety and interdisciplinary nature of scientific discovery at Tech.
Much work was necessary to launch an ambitious project with such a short timeline, and I’d personally like to thank the members of the Steering Committee who have guided the journal through the planning stages and provided invaluable advice, hard work, and knowledge to the process. Some were involved from the beginning and others for only a short time, but for over a year all of them had a profound effect on keeping the momentum going.

In addition, thank you to everyone who has shown enthusiasm for this project since we started our recruitment process. It has been highly encouraging to see the buzz start around campus, and I assure you that our staff is doing everything possible to provide a journal of which Georgia Tech can be proud.
Please feel free to contact me with any comments or questions regarding The Tower. This journal is for us all, and there are always opportunities to get involved.
As we begin a new year I wish everyone in the Georgia Tech community a very happy, healthy, and prosperous new year.
Warmest Regards,
