I'd been at Georgia Tech for maybe 5-6 weeks my freshman year and already knew I was going to apply to transfer to Stanford when I found out President Pettit had been the former dean of the school of engineering at Stanford. I headed over to his office and set up an appointment to talk with him about Stanford and GT, my vague recollection of the chat was he was engaging and appeared to be interested in why I wanted to leave after such a short time. In hindsight I'm somewhat surprised I got to chat with him.
