Georgia Tech is working to establish new research partnerships with minority-serving institutions and HBCUs through its Research Collaboration Initiative. George White, a principal research engineer and the senior director for Strategic Partnerships at Georgia Tech, and Taiesha Smith, the senior program manager for HBCUs and minority-serving institutions Research Partnerships at Georgia Tech, discuss details about the initiative.

Plus, in December of 2018, for the launch of ‘Closer Look’s Open For Business’ series Rose interviewed Tremayne Perry, the owner of BUZZ Coffee and Winehouse. Five years later, the coffeeshop that has become a neighborhood staple in the Cascade Heights community is closing. Perry returns to the program to discuss why.
