Dr. Sarah Brackmann offers over 20 years of experience directing community engagement programs at four different higher education institutions, including Georgia Tech from 2005-2008. Dr. Brackmann completed her Ph.D. in Higher Education from the University of Georgia, where her research focused on the impact of decreased public funding on community engagement programs. She is excited to return to the Institute and collaborate with faculty, staff, students, and community partners to integrate community engagement and experiential learning into the Georgia Tech student experience.
