The Winter issue of the Georgia Tech Alumni Magazine is a whale of an edition, packed with features about the Institute and its high-achieving faculty and graduates.

The Georgia Aquarium opened the week of Thanksgiving with the help of a pool of Tech talent. The world's largest aquarium with 8 million gallons of water, the ship-shaped Atlanta behemoth is overflowing with such wonders as whale sharks and beluga whales.

Alumna Kelly Braun found her way from Atlanta to San Jose, Calif., where she is senior manager of user research for eBay's PayPal. What a ride it has been.

What makes Georgia Tech's School of Industrial and Systems Engineering the best in the world? Find out how the school strategically climbed to the top.

You must remember this — Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman parting at the fog-shrouded airport. Through a $200,000 National Endowment for the Humanities, Georgia Tech is helping design and produce a digital critical edition of "Casablanca" so no one will be able to forget the classic film as time goes by.

Also in the Winter issue are profiles of alums John Burson, a 71-year-old physician who volunteered to serve on the front lines in Iraq, and Jorge Cham, who has made a name for himself through a comic strip chronicling graduate school life.
