Dear IAC Friends,
The Georgia Tech Active Service/Modified Duties Program -developed with support of Advance- has benefited numbers of faculty members toward modified workload and flexible schedule for a period because of family commitments.
The Program is administered by the Georgia Tech Office of Faculty Affairs: http://faculty.gatech.edu/faculty-affairs-reps/internal-resources/active-service
Please let me know if you may want to discuss (confidentially) any of these issues.
with good wishes - Mary
