DDEAR FELLOW ALUMNI,
It’s an immense honor to serve as your chair for the 2023 fiscal year. It’s been such a joy to have the opportunity to meet many of you face-to-face. The community we share is part of the success of our Institute and why we named this the “Year of Engagement.”
Engagement bears great fruit. We nurture a sense of belonging by hosting events and other opportunities to meet one another. These interactions create a funnel of
support that extends from Tech to each member of our community on a personal level.
The success of these events, such as last February’s Gold & White Honors Gala, where we raised more than $325,000, helps rekindle a passion for Georgia Tech.
We’ve worked to foster more meaningful connections between alumni and students. By reinvigorating the Student Alumni Association, we’ve helped make space for 4,200 students who will join us as proud alumni after this year's graduation.
Together, we raised $7.7 million during the 75th Roll Call. “
The vision of the Alumni Association is to build an enduring community with all alumni standing in proud support of Georgia Tech and each other.
The mission of the Alumni Association is to champion and serve our alumni and the Institute through programming and engagement that fosters lifelong relationships and philanthropic support.
The Alumni Association’s culture, aligned with the Institute, is built on our core values of Community, Excellence, Innovation, Collaboration, Integrity, and Respect.
Twenty-nine Alumni Networks hosted student send-offs to welcome new Jackets to the Tech family, and more than 1,500 students learned about the Alumni Association during Ramble on the Green, a new welcome event for students.
The Alumni Association has also worked to connect Jackets who have moved away from Tech’s campus. Through virtual platforms, we’ve cultivated community around the globe. One example is the 2022 Pi Mile 5K Road Race, which included virtual runners. Last March, 582 participants ran on campus and 180 participated virtually.
All this progress was made possible through your support. You traveled with us, invited your friends to our events, and engaged online. Together, we raised $7.7 million during the 75th Roll Call (up 10% from last year). Thank you for your commitment to strengthen our networks, communities, and campus.
I hope to see us continue this great work in the future. You can help further this progress by volunteering your time and talents to enrich our community and by continuing to support your colleges and schools. Georgia Tech will always be the home of the best and brightest, and I look forward to what comes next for our community. Thank you for being a part of this journey.
Go Jackets!

With the theme “Greatness Within,” the 2022 Gold & White Honors Gala raised more than $325,000 for the Association’s student programs while recognizing eight outstanding honorees who represent the best of Tech.

The Georgia Tech Black Alumni Organization hosted a yearlong series of events honoring early Black alumni, faculty, and staff, and their profound impact over the last six decades on campus.
