Why Internet2?
Ask Our Community.

Leo Howell, vice president for IT and chief information officer, Georgia Tech
When research and education leaders come together as a community, the conversation shifts from isolated problem-solving to shared momentum. You quickly realize you’re facing the same constraints — funding, talent, legacy systems, governance, and culture — so the work feels less like a local struggle and more like a collective challenge.
