Recognizing the Georgia New Ivies

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize two esteemed universities in Georgia.

This year, Forbes Magazine introduced a list of 2025 ``New Ivy'' league schools.

The list highlights 10 public and 10 private institutions across the country that are at the Ivy-League-level of prestige.

Because of their academic rigor, competitive admissions, and strong career outcomes, Georgia Tech University and Emory University stood out.

Georgia Tech is renowned for its innovation and return on investment.

Their recent graduate career placement rates consistently hover above 90 percent, which is an impressive figure.

Emory has earned praise for its research programs and global health initiatives, with a history of groundbreaking medical discoveries.

One of these discoveries includes the first successful bone marrow transplant in a human patient.

The recognition cements both schools as academic powerhouses--and proves Georgia continues to rise as a destination for elite higher education.

We should all be proud of both universities for this tremendous accomplishment.
