Georgia Tech President Ángel Cabrera is stepping down from his position within the Atlanta institution, according to a press release from Tech officials on Monday.

Cabrera has been selected to serve as the next president and CEO of the Aspen Institute, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to “leadership, dialogue, and addressing society’s most pressing challenges.”

Aspen Institute’s Board of Trustees voted earlier today to appoint the education leader to the role.
