MISSION STATEMENT
OMED is a Georgia Tech Educational Services unit charged with the academic performance, retention, and development of the complete student learner who is traditionally underrepresented (African American, Hispanic, and Native American).
This development is intended to ensure that these gifted, yet inexperienced, students become inspired, high-performing problem solvers.
OMED Programs, while targeted to the underrepresented, are beneficial and open to all Georgia Tech students.
