Campaign Georgia Tech began quietly with an initial goal of $1 billion, which was raised to $1.5 billion in 2010. Thanks to the extraordinary leadership of the Campaign Steering Committee volunteers and our predecessor, Al West, along with the hard work and dedication of our campus leadership — President Peterson and First Lady Val Peterson — and an extraordinary faculty and staff, Campaign Georgia Tech reached its $1.5 billion goal in October 2014 — more than a year early — and closed its books in December 2015 more than $300 million over goal. Over the course of the Campaign, we’ve gone through the depths of a worldwide economic recession. We have traveled thousands of miles to take the Campaign message across the state, the nation, and the world to reach alumni, friends, corporations, and foundations to advance the philanthropic cause of Georgia Tech. Ultimately, we realized all of our Campaign objectives, Al West, former chair of Campaign Georgia Tech

thanks to the generosity of more than 91,000 donors. We raised $354 million in gifts and commitments for undergraduate and graduate student support. More than

$276 million has been raised for athletics. The deans in all six colleges and every school chair in Engineering now sit in dedicated endowed chairs, providing flexibility for academic excellence. We had a goal of 100 endowed chairs and professorships, and we exceeded that goal, reaching 104, helping us to attract and retain the best faculty. We have built and renovated more than 20 facilities and features for students and faculty, including the G. Wayne Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons and the Engineered Biosystems Building, both with more than 200,000 square feet of strategically designed space. We have named a school, the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, and a college, the Ernest Scheller Jr. College of Business. These past years have been an amazing journey for the Campaign Georgia Tech Steering Committee, the many volunteer advisory boards, the faculty and staff, the Institute leadership — and all who have been involved along the way. We are humbled by the knowledge of the Campaign’s impact — what the money will do in support of Georgia Tech, the city of Atlanta, the state of Georgia, and beyond. And most importantly, for the faculty and students of the institution we hold so dear. We thank each and every one of you for your role in this extraordinary success. Congratulations to one and all. Sincerely,

Mary Rockett Brock and John F. Brock III, ChE 1970, MS ChE 1971

Campaign Georgia Tech Co-Chairs John and Mary Brock

The most successful fundraising campaign in Georgia Tech’s history concluded on December 31, 2015. When the books were closed, more than $1.8 billion had been raised. In addition to dollar amounts, Campaign Georgia Tech’s success can also be measured by the fact that all of its major goals were realized — and surpassed.

What follows is a summary of the Campaign — the goals, the results, and the impact — as well as highlights and stories of those who gave and those whose lives were indelibly touched by philanthropy. In these pages you will see that alumni were the driving force behind this unprecedented giving, making up by far the largest proportion of donors and dollars. Georgia Tech alumni are proud, and when called upon to give back, they responded in historic fashion. You will also see that countless others stepped up as well: spouses, parents, friends, faculty and staff, foundations, and corporations. And you will see that planned gifts played an extraordinary role in the success of the Campaign. Of all gifts and commitments made by individuals, planned gifts — both estate gifts and life-income gifts — comprised more than 45 percent. On every page, you will see the power of philanthropy at work. The power to advance a vision for the future and to transform lives.

SUPPORTING STUDENTS

Opportunity and Achievement From merit- and need-based scholarships and graduate fellowships to study abroad and athletic scholarships, Campaign Georgia Tech inspired an outpouring of philanthropic support for current and future generations of Tech students.

Joy Buolamwini: Stamps Scholar, Rhodes Scholar

Stamps Leadership Scholar Awards In 2007, the Stamps Family Charitable Foundation, founded by Penny and E. Roe Stamps IV, IE 1967, MS IE 1972, HON Ph.D. 2014, made a $5 million commitment that created within the President’s Scholarship Program the Stamps Leadership Scholar Awards, providing full-ride awards and enrichment programs for extremely gifted students. Since that time, the Stamps Foundation has extended and expanded its commitment to the Stamps Scholars Program. This programming includes an outdoor summer leadership development experience prior to the freshman year, grants to support a public service internship and/or an undergraduate research experience, and various travel and study abroad experiences. After originating at Georgia Tech and the University of Michigan (the alma mater of Penny Stamps), the Stamps Leadership Scholar Awards are now available at more than 40 universities across the country. Above: Penny and E. Roe Stamps with Stamps Scholars in 2013.

82 President’s Scholarships

In 2012, an extraordinary young woman from Memphis, Tennessee, became Georgia Tech’s fourth-ever Rhodes Scholar. Since graduating, Joy Buolamwini, CS 2012, has earned a master’s in education at Oxford University; was the founder and executive director of Zamrize, an organization in Zambia that teaches young people about technology and computing; and founded Code4Rights, which promotes human rights through technology education. Buolamwini is currently a graduate student in the MIT Media Lab. “The Stamps Scholarship was the deciding factor in my choice to come to Georgia Tech,” she said. “But I had no idea just how many opportunities there would be, because of the generosity of Roe and Penny Stamps.”

Tech Promise Scholarship Program

140 Tech Promise Scholarships

In 2007, the Institute launched a scholarship program that was the first of its kind among the state’s public universities — a program that would provide a debt-free Georgia Tech education to students whose only obstacle to success was a lack of financial resources. The G. Wayne Clough Georgia Tech Promise Scholarship program is designed to fill a gap in the financial aid support system, assisting Georgia students whose families have an annual income of less than $33,300. The program surpassed its $50 million Campaign goal. To date, more than 350 Tech Promise Scholars from 89 Georgia counties have graduated. Fundraising was accelerated by two separate dollar-for-dollar challenge grants along the way.

$354M raised for undergraduate and graduate student support

Godbold Scholars: Making Out-of-State Dreams a Reality

Penny and Bill George Create Study Abroad Scholarship Fund

Francis S. “Bo” Godbold, IE 1965, and his wife, Betsy, made a commitment establishing the Godbold Scholars program at Tech in 1999. They made subsequent commitments in 2005 and 2010 that have provided life-changing support to 50 outof-state students. In 2015, they committed another $2.5 million, bringing their total support for the program to more than $5 million and ensuring that they reach their revised goal of educating at least 100 Tech students.

In 2014, Penny P. and William W. “Bill” George, IE 1964, HON Ph.D. 2008, directed a $1 million gift to be expended over five years to support international study abroad scholarships for undergraduates. Expanding Tech’s global footprint and graduating good global citizens is one of the Institute’s five major goals articulated in its 25-year strategic plan, and here, as elsewhere, philanthropy is playing a significant role. The George International Study Abroad Scholarship is available to any qualified undergraduate who wishes to pursue academic coursework or an internship abroad, with first preference for students with demonstrated financial need and a second preference for underrepresented minority students.

Duane Carver, First Georgia Tech Promise Scholar Duane L. Carver, CMPE 2010, became the first G. Wayne Clough Georgia Tech Promise Scholar to graduate from the Institute. Carver — who was homeless at one point during his high school years in Brunswick, Georgia — graduated from Georgia Tech in just three years. Previously a software engineer with Fidelity Investments, Carver later enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law and undertook an internship with the Morrison & Foerster law firm in San Francisco. “Receiving a Tech Promise scholarship changed my life,” Carver said in 2010 just before his graduation. “I’m now on my way to reaching my dream of becoming a patent lawyer. I think I still would have had the determination to become successful, but Tech Promise allowed me to do it much faster and at one of the best universities in the country.”

Renewable Bioproducts Institute

Duane Carver

In 2014, the Institute of Paper Chemistry (IPC) Foundation transferred $44.4 million to Georgia Tech in support of the Renewable Bioproducts Institute (RBI), formerly the Institute of Paper Science and Technology. In 2015, the IPC Foundation made additional grants exceeding $1.3 million to RBI. The IPC Foundation’s philanthropy over many years has provided support for more than 1,500 graduate students. 5

The Best Minds From the beginning of Campaign Georgia Tech, one of the most important priorities was to increase the number of endowed chairs and professorships. With a goal of supporting 100 such positions, the Institute set out to strengthen an already extraordinary faculty by securing the resources that make it possible to recruit and retain the world’s best teacher-scholars and academic leaders.

Four Dean’s Chairs Established John Portman Chair, College of Architecture Stephen P. Zelnak Jr. Chair, Ernest Scheller Jr. College of Business Southern Company Chair, College of Engineering Betsy Middleton and John Clark Sutherland Chair, College of Sciences (subject to Board of Regents Approval) These complement Dean’s Chairs already established in the College of Computing (John P. Imlay Jr.) and the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts (Ivan Allen Jr.).

GRA Chairs Created through Strategic Partnerships The Campaign reflected the significant, ongoing partnership between the Institute, private donors, and the Georgia Research Alliance (GRA) — through the creation of six GRA Chairs in fields ranging from cancer nanotechnology and nanomedicine to computational systems biology, energy sustainability, and high speed optical physics. One of the first of these was the David D. Flanagan/Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar in Biological Systems in the Wallace H. Coulter

Department of Biomedical Engineering, established in 2005 by David D. Flanagan, IE 1976. The distinguished scientist Eberhard O. Voit currently holds the Flanagan Chair. The GRA provides partial funding and initial startup funds. When combined with private philanthropy, the chairs are a powerful recruiting tool to bring eminent scholars to Georgia from around the nation and the world. Twenty-three of the 65 GRA Eminent Scholars statewide are currently members of the Georgia Tech faculty.

Three College of Engineering School Chairs Established Karen and John Huff School Chair, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering Anonymous, School of Materials Science and Engineering John F. Brock III School Chair, School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering

These complement School Chairs already established across the College of Engineering.

Invesco Honors Firm’s Founder, Charles W. Brady The name Charles W. Brady, IM 1957, is well known among regional, national, and international investment circles. Brady is chairman emeritus of Invesco Ltd., a global investment management firm. To honor his many years of leadership at Invesco, in 2013 the company made a $1 million commitment — doubled to $2 million thanks to the Scheller Challenge — that established the Charles W. Brady Chair in the Scheller College of Business. The Brady Chair will provide a powerful and strategic means by which the Scheller College can attract and retain highly accomplished academic leaders in perpetuity.

Gary May, Dean and Southern Company Chair in the College of Engineering

Southern Company Foundation Endows Engineering Dean’s Chair In the spring of 2015, the Southern Company Foundation made a seven-figure commitment to establish an endowed dean’s chair in the College of Engineering. It became the fifth college to have a named dean’s chair, and the third during the Campaign. The Southern Company Dean’s Chair, held by Gary S. May, EE 1985, will significantly enhance the College’s ability to attract and retain eminent teacher-scholars to this senior position of academic leadership in perpetuity. In addition, it will provide the dean with resources to pursue research in his or her field, as well as funds for the enhancement of the College without restriction, whether to meet immediate needs or invest in future initiatives.

Philanthropy Bolsters Professorships

104 endowed chairs and professorships

Thirty-three of the 104 faculty positions endowed as part of Campaign Georgia Tech were professorships, including early- and mid-career, term-of-years appointments, and professors of the practice.

SHAW PROFESSO RSH IP In the spring of 2013, philanthropic support was growing for Georgia Tech’s emerging Sports, Society, and Technology (SST) program, which allows students and faculty to study sport in the contexts of historical and contemporary culture. One major demonstration of that support came from Julius C. “Bud” Shaw, TEXT 1950, retired chairman of the board of Dalton, Georgia-based Shaw Industries, the world’s largest carpet manufacturer. Shaw’s commitment established the Julius C. “Bud” Shaw Professorship in the School of History and Sociology in the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, where the program is housed. A LL C HIN EARLY CA R E E R P R O F E SSORS HIP In 2012, James E. Allchin, Ph.D. ICS 1983, and his wife, Catherine, established an endowed early-career professorship in the College of Computing — the first of its kind in the College. Allchin Professors are selected by the dean and serve for a term of two to five years during the critical pre-tenure period. “A great faculty is clearly the key to producing great computing graduates, and I attribute much of my professional success to the high caliber of instruction I received over the course of my education,” said Allchin. “Catherine and I want to play a part in strengthening the exceptional faculty at Georgia Tech’s College of Computing.”

O L IVER PROFES SO R SH IP O F TH E P R A C T I CE In 2009, James L. Oliver II, ID 1965, ME 1967, created an endowment for the support of an Interdisciplinary Design faculty member to be jointly appointed by the deans of the Colleges of Architecture and Engineering, with a mandate to promote design education across disciplines. In recognition of Oliver’s subsequent additional philanthropy, the position was named the James L. Oliver II Professor of the Practice in Design and Engineering in the College of Architecture’s School of Industrial Design. Wayne K. Li is the inaugural Oliver Professor, bringing expertise in brand management, product design, and mechanical engineering.

Marcus Foundation’s Grant Supports Brain Tumor Research In 2015, a promising cancer research project received a major boost from one of the Institute’s most valued philanthropic partners. The Marcus Foundation made a $6.5 million grant to the tumor monorail project, a collaboration among Georgia Tech, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and Emory University that involves the design and testing of a novel device for more efficient treatment of brain tumors. The funding will enable researchers to move this technology into clinical trials and ultimately to the people who are facing these medical challenges. The grant will also enable device design and prototyping, development of an FDA-compliant manufacturing process, and FDA approvals for a clinical drug study to be conducted in Atlanta.

SUPPORTING PROGRAMS

Setting Tech Apart Innovation, collaboration, and opportunities outside the classroom are all hallmarks of a Georgia Tech education. Thanks to the private donors who provided transformative philanthropy leading to the naming of a college and a school, and who provided vital resources to launch and sustain interdisciplinary programs and research centers during the Campaign, the Institute has made great strides in further distinguishing itself from peer institutions.

Stewart Commitment Names School of Industrial and Systems Engineering

In 2006, Carolyn and H. Milton Stewart, IE 1961, made a $20 million commitment naming the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE). The commitment established a permanent endowment generating funds available for unrestricted use within the Stewart School. The Stewarts’ philanthropy made ISyE the fourth named school within the College of Engineering, joining the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering, and the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering. The Stewart School has been ranked number one in the nation for 25 consecutive years. “We’re honored to be a part of the ISyE success story that was written by so many alumni and faculty,” the Stewarts said. “Our outstanding faculty, bright students, excellent leadership, and highly supportive alumni give us an important edge in the continuing competition to be the very best.”

The Ernest Scheller Jr. College of Business It is a rare event in university business education when a name is added to the ranks of the top 10 public business schools. Joining the iconic brands of Ross, Haas, Darden, Kenan-Flagler, Anderson, Kelley, McCombs, Broad, and Carlson in 2012 was a new player: Scheller. This seismic shift was the result of the vision and generosity of Roberta and Ernest “Ernie” Scheller Jr., IM 1952, HON Ph.D. 2013. The gift of $50 million established the Ernest Scheller Jr. College of Business among the nation’s most renowned business schools. Scheller credits his Georgia Tech experience with developing his entrepreneurial edge and laying the foundation he needed for career success. “Georgia Tech taught me to be disciplined and focused in everything I did,” Scheller recalled. “I owe so much to Georgia Tech and the rigorous education I received, and I’ve always felt a tremendous amount of gratitude and a strong desire to give back to the Institute.” The first half of the $50 million gift was initiated in 2009 in the form of a $20 million Scheller endowment challenge grant and a $5 million expendable dean’s discretionary fund.

IE 1956, HON Ph.D. 2011, was as devoted to his alma mater as he was to the idea of sustainability in manufacturing. In 2015, the foundation that bears his name made a generous commitment to the Ernest Scheller Jr. College of Business that will provide $5 million in expendable funds over the next decade. The philanthropic investment also resulted in a term-of-years naming for what was renamed the Ray C. Anderson Center for Sustainable Business. Established in 2013 with seed funding from the Ray C. Anderson Foundation, the center was originally known as the Center for Business Strategies for Sustainability.

EE 1968, HON Ph.D. 2010, made a multi-million-dollar commitment in 2008 that established the interdisciplinary Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems. Led by renowned sustainability expert John Crittenden, the Byers Institute enhances Georgia Tech’s research, education, and service missions and campus operations through leadership, communications, development, and decision making inspired and defined by the principles of sustainability. Research focus areas at the Byers Institute include infrastructure ecology, provision of clean water, sustainable engineering education, sustainable energy production, climate change, air quality, and nanotechnology.

Goizueta Foundation Grant Promotes STEM Fields to Hispanic Students The Goizueta Foundation has a long history of supporting recruitment and retention efforts and both need- and merit-based scholarship endowments designated for Hispanic students at Georgia Tech. In 2012, The Goizueta Foundation awarded Tech a $5 million grant to promote science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields to Hispanic/Latino K-12 students. The five-year grant will support and enhance the GoSTEM researchbased model and will demonstrate how technological universities and school systems can partner to promote academic achievement among Hispanic students in STEM fields.

Alumna’s Bequest Will Support Stewart School

AT&T Gift Supports Professional Online Master of Science Degree

Andrea L. Laliberte, IE 1982, MS IE 1984, understands the difference that one individual can make, and her life’s work, philanthropic pursuits, and volunteerism have all been guided by that belief. Her 2012 bequest provision will grow the Andrea L. Laliberte Endowment Fund, providing unrestricted support for the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering. It is one of the largest gifts by any alumna in Georgia Tech’s history.

In 2013, thanks to a $2 million gift from AT&T, Georgia Tech became the first in the nation to create a professional Online Master of Science degree in Computer Science. AT&T and Georgia Tech joined forces with Udacity Inc., a leading online education company based in Silicon Valley, to make this degree possible. Udacity’s founder, Sebastian Thrun, commented, “We are excited to team with Georgia Tech, whose College of Computing offers CS degrees of the very highest caliber. AT&T is a champion for innovation in education, and we are grateful for its vision in supporting this endeavor.” Launched in January 2014, the program offers 13 courses to be applied across nine specialization areas (including a newly added specialization in information security). At full scale, the curriculum will consist of at least 25 courses. Later in 2014, AT&T committed an additional $1.9 million to the program.

SUPPORTING FACILITIES

Foundations of Greatness A top priority of Campaign Georgia Tech, and the most tangible evidence of the Campaign’s success, was providing state-of-the-art facilities for students and faculty. Over the course of the Campaign, the construction or renovation of more than 20 buildings and campus features was funded in full or in part through philanthropy, reshaping and galvanizing the campus.

20+ facilities and features constructed or renovated

Engineered Biosystems Building On September 11, 2015, members of the Georgia Tech community joined with Institute friends and partners from Emory University and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (Children’s) to formally dedicate the Engineered Biosystems Building (EBB). Donna Hyland, president and CEO of Children’s, told the crowd, “We are thrilled to call this home.” EBB houses the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Pediatric

Technology Center, and will be indispensable to their mission of finding new ways to combat disease. “The cures are going to come,” she said. “What I see in this building are cures.” Forty faculty researchers have laboratories and offices within the 219,000-square-foot facility, which was designed around the concept of understanding and combating diseases through the power of shared resources, spaces, and expertise. Private funding was completed in late 2014 — the result of an anonymous $8.5 million commitment, an anonymous $17 million donor, and Children’s philanthropic support.

G. Wayne Clough Undergraduate

Learning Commons

Marcus Nanotechnology Building In 2006, the Marcus Foundation made a $15 million commitment in support of the facility that would ultimately be named the Marcus Nanotechnology Building. The driving force behind the commitment was Bernie Marcus, HON Ph.D. 2015, the founder and chairman of the Marcus Foundation. The grant augmented a $5 million commitment the previous year from the Atlanta-based Woodruff Foundation. The Marcus Nanotechnology Building — which was dedicated in April 2009 — consists of 30,000 square feet of clean room research space, one of the nation’s largest and an essential element of nanotechnology research.

Clough Commons Honors 10th President The G. Wayne Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons was dedicated on September 24, 2011. The brainchild of President Emeritus Clough, CE 1963, MS CE 1964, HON Ph.D. 2015, the facility was 15 years in the making. “The journey began with a simple idea: that Georgia Tech students deserve no less than the best educational experience Georgia Tech can provide them so they can take their place as leaders in the 21st century,” said Clough. “This simple idea has led us to a profound and happy outcome.”

Kendeda Fund Grant

John and Joyce Caddell Building On April 28, 2015, surrounded by their children, grandchildren, friends, and fellow alumni from the College of Architecture, Joyce and John A. Caddell, ARCH 1952, participated in the dedication of the newly renovated home of the School of Building Construction, which now bears their names. “This facility has a long history,” President G.P. “Bud” Peterson told the crowd. “Thanks to the generosity of the Caddells, it’s going to have a wonderful future.” Steven P. French, Dean and John Portman Chair in the College of Architecture, added, “Georgia Tech students are going to lead the way in the construction revolution that is reshaping the world we live in, and because of this gift, they now have the finest construction building on any campus.” In 2012, the couple made a seven-figure commitment that made the renovations possible.

In the fall of 2015, Georgia Tech received a commitment for $30 million from The Kendeda Fund to build what is expected to become the most environmentally advanced education and research building in the Southeast. It represents The Kendeda Fund’s largest single grant, and is one of the largest foundation grants received in the Institute’s history. Currently in the planning stages, the facility will provide the opportunity to create a living-learning laboratory for hands-on education and research that will serve as a model for the region and similar environments around the world. If all defined milestones are reached, the goal is to begin construction in 2017, with occupancy targeted for late 2018 and building certification planned for 2020.

A Tradition of Excellence The foundation of Georgia Tech’s athletic program is the ability to recruit and retain student-athletes who embrace and value the experience of earning a degree at one of the nation’s best academic institutions while also competing for championships at the highest levels. Private support for athletics — most significantly, in the areas of scholarships and facilities — was one of the Campaign’s biggest successes.

State-of-the-Art Facilities Athletics facilities that were constructed or renovated during Campaign Georgia Tech include:

Mc CAMISH PAV ILI O N Construction of the facility occupying the footprint of Alexander Memorial Coliseum was made possible by an eight-figure commitment from the family of Henry F. “Hank” McCamish Jr., IM 1950. Construction was completed in fall 2012. ZELNAK B A SKE TB A LL C E N TE R In 2005, Stephen P. Zelnak Jr., IM 1969, was the lead donor in supporting the construction of a state-of-the-art basketball practice facility for the men’s and women’s teams.

Gift Honors Former Coach, Supports Aquatic Center

On November 29, 2014, Harrison Butker, ISyE 2017, kicked a career-long 53-yard field goal on the last play of regulation against ninth-ranked University of Georgia. The Yellow Jackets won the game in overtime, 30-24.

For two decades, the Aquatic Center has been a signature feature within the Campus Recreation Center as well as a focal point for campus tours. Thanks to one alumnus, it will bear the name of a beloved Tech swimming coach. The facility, which will be known as the McAuley Aquatic Center, was named to honor James Herbert “Herb” McAuley, EE 1947, the former swimming champion who devoted four decades to coaching swimmers at Tech — both competitive swimmers and undergraduates taking the compulsory and infamous “drown-proofing” class. Richard L. Bergmark, IMGT 1975, is the man who made it possible. “This is a fantastic way to give recognition to Coach McAuley,” he explained. “He was a great coach, a mentor, a generous person, and a Tech alumnus himself.”

Director of Athletics Discretionary Fund

Teixeira Endows Baseball Scholarship

Similar to a dean’s discretionary fund, the athletics fund allows Director of Athletics Mike Bobinski to address pressing needs and meet unexpected challenges across all of athletics through an endowed, unrestricted fund. As a result of the Campaign, the fund was significantly enhanced, providing increased flexibility and an invaluable resource to keep Tech athletics competitive.

In 2009, Mark Teixeira, Class of 2002, made a $500,000 commitment that fully endowed a Tech baseball scholarship. A power-hitting first baseman for the New York Yankees, Teixeira has always been passionate about the power of philanthropy. Since leaving Tech, he has given generously to athletics — in particular Georgia Tech’s strength and conditioning program, the golf team, and the Russ Chandler Stadium renovation project — as well as the Scheller College of Business. In his words, “This gift was a no-brainer, now that I am in a position to do something significant.”

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Val and G.P. “Bud” Peterson

“Our time. Our legacy.” A year after my arrival at Georgia Tech, we introduced this theme as part of the launch of the public phase of our comprehensive fundraising campaign. At that time it was hard to imagine that today, a little over five years later, we would be celebrating our incredible success. Our time — When Val and I arrived at Georgia Tech in April 2009, our country was in the midst of one of the most significant recessions in U.S. history. Soon after, the Georgia Tech community came together and created a 25-year strategic plan, “Designing the Future,” which served as the blueprint upon which we would launch the public phase of the Campaign. We launched in fall 2010, communicating our shared goals and vision — and the Georgia Tech community responded in a way that we could have never imagined! Today, we have not only met the challenge; we have exceeded our goal of $1.5 billion by more than $300 million. Our legacy —The strategic plan was designed to be visionary and flexible, but with specific goals that would place Georgia Tech in a position of global leadership. We are well on our way, thanks to our remarkable faculty, staff, and students, and to the generosity of tens of thousands of supporters who know what Georgia Tech has meant in their lives and want to pass along those same advantages to others. While our goal of raising $1.5 billion was very ambitious, it was never really about the money — it was, and continues to be, about the people. One of the greatest pleasures of my job has been to shake our graduates’ hands as they cross the stage at Commencement. They include merit- and need-based scholars; our outstanding Tech Promise scholars, whose lives will never be the same; our student-athletes; and students from around the world. I look out and see the faces of family and friends who have been there to support our graduates, and know that behind the scenes there are thousands of people like you who have worked to help them meet their goals but also to make Georgia Tech one of the best public research universities in the nation, and increasingly, the world. While Campaign Georgia Tech is now officially over, its impact lives on. Just this past year, we welcomed the best qualified and most diverse class in Georgia Tech history for the seventh year in a row; opened the Engineered Biosystems Building; discovered liquid water on Mars; dedicated the Einstein Monument; celebrated Tech’s 250th Commencement; and saw our students, faculty, and staff do some simply amazing things in the classrooms, laboratories, and our communities. While all of this is exciting, the future is even more exciting, and it simply would not be possible without the support of 91,610 alumni, friends, and organizations who gave to Campaign Georgia Tech. We are especially grateful to President Emeritus G. Wayne Clough and Al West, former chair of the Campaign Steering Committee, for their leadership during the Campaign’s initial phase, and John and Mary Brock, co-chairs during the public phase. And, I would like to extend a special thanks to Val for her enthusiasm and tireless support throughout the Campaign. Thanks to you, there is no limit to what the Georgia Tech community can accomplish. We extend our most sincere thanks to each and every one of you. Sincerely,

G.P. “Bud” Peterson President, Georgia Institute of Technology

We Build on Foundations We Did Not Lay Rev. Peter Spilman Raible, 1929 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2004

We build on foundations we did not lay. We warm ourselves by fires we did not light. We sit in the shade of trees we did not plant. We drink from wells we did not dig. We profit from persons we did not know. We are ever bound in community. May it always be so.
