"Tech, its people and my experiences––these come to mind clearly as the dominant influences in my early adulthood...I made bonds with people that will last a lifetime, and I learned humility at the hands of not a few professors,” Steve comments. “Tech was a great place to grow up and to build a foundation for lifelong learning."
Kelvin Hawkins received his M.S.E.E. degree in 1992 from
Georgia Tech after completing his undergraduate electrical engineering
education at Boston University. He has worked for IBM since graduating
from Tech and is currently the program director for Xseries High Volume
at the company’s Research Triangle Park, N.C. location. In addition,
Kelvin is a member of the ECE Advisory Board.
"Georgia Tech provided me with the technical know-how to compete in the high tech industry of computer development. The course load at GT has always been challenging and this challenge is no different from the project deadlines, technical problems, and creative invention required to succeed in today's fast-paced world of technology,” Kelvin says. “The GT experience pays dividends in the long run of life."
