A Community of Excellence Any student who’s taking a serious look at Georgia Tech understands what it means to be excellent. It’s about working hard, doing well, and always seeking greater challenges. As you make your way around the Georgia Tech campus, you will find a community that’s wonderfully diverse and distinctly engaged, yet singularly united by a commitment to excellence.

This commitment to excellence is embodied in our intellectually curious students, energetic faculty, and caring staff; it shines in our stateof-the-art facilities and well-tended grounds; it manifests in our innovative degree programs and energetic co-curricular activities; and it’s reflected in our vital outreach and service to the global community.

And this isn’t just talk: For 16 years now, Georgia Tech has been ranked among the top 10 public universities in the nation

by U.S. News & World Report — the only technology-focused university to make the list.

We’re ranked the No. 1 Return on Investment in Higher Education by PayScale.com. We’re the No. 27 university on the planet according to Times Higher Education. Our campus transportation system won the 2013 PACE award, and we consistently make the Princeton Review Green Honor Roll and the Sierra Club’s Cool Schools list for our sustainability efforts.

So, yes, Georgia Tech’s community of excellence gets noticed, and as you explore campus, we hope you see it, too!

Living on Campus Georgia Tech is a great place to call home. There’s our traditional residential campus — more than 450 walkable, bikeable acres, with more than 11,000 trees and virtually every amenity close at hand. Then, just beyond campus, there’s the city of Atlanta, offering the kinds of cultural, entertainment, and economic opportunities you can only find in a major city. Together, these two worlds offer students a stable, yet stimulating environment in which to live, learn, explore, and grow.

Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons

The sustainably designed 220,000-squarefoot G. Wayne Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons provides a space and culture that encourages discovery and cross-disciplinary interaction.

fitness and recreation centers — offers activities to suit all preferences.

Dining

There are so many dining options on and around campus, we had to give these amenities their own section — see page 8.

Housing

Because we serve as a home-away-from-home for nearly 50 percent of the student population — and 97 percent of freshmen — we place great emphasis on providing a well-rounded

residential experience. And studies have shown that students who live on campus typically make better grades and are more likely to stay in school and graduate.

Georgia Tech’s housing experience begins with accommodations. We offer comfortable, convenient housing to suit a variety of lifestyles and needs, with 47 graduate and undergraduate facilities that include traditional residence halls, suites, and apartments.

Each living option offers an appropriate level of supportive staff, academic support, faculty interaction, and leadership development. Programs like Think Big, Global Challenges, and Freshman Experience transform residence halls into living-learning centers that contribute to students’ overall development and help them build a solid personal and academic foundation within the context of a diverse and inclusive community.

Georgia Tech and Atlanta Georgia Tech’s location in Atlanta — in Midtown, close to Downtown — puts much of what the city has to offer within easy reach of campus. So while you’re here, you may want to take a few extra days to visit some attractions, soak up some history, take in a show, and get to know a little more about the opportunities and advantages that our students — and the Institute as a whole — gain from the Tech-Atlanta connection.

The Ramblin’ Wreck is a restored gold, white, and black 1930 Model A Ford. Student Barrett Ahlers was awarded the honor of driving the Wreck for 2013.

Traditions and History Georgia Tech’s rich history is reflected in its many traditions, which each generation of students proudly upholds and makes its own. Here’s a primer on some of the fun and heartfelt traditions that have been integrated into life at Tech over the years since the first day of classes back in 1888.

A Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech

The melody of Georgia Tech’s fight song, which begins “I’m a Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech,” was inspired by an old 17th century Scottish drinking song, A Son of a Gambolier.

The lyrics were inspired by a train wreck when, in 1893, after the first Tech/UGA football game, the train carrying the victorious Tech team and its fans crashed on the way back from Athens.

One of the world’s most recognizable fight songs, it has been recorded by multiple orchestras and vocalists and has been sung or referred to in many movies.

Gregory Peck sang Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech in the movie The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit.

8 | Georgia Tech

Buzz

The term “Yellow Jackets” first referred to fans of Georgia Tech athletics because they wore yellow jackets, but in 1905 Coach John Heisman declared that the teams themselves should be known by that name. The award-winning Buzz mascot made his first appearance in 1980 and, as an official member of the cheerleading squad, has since served as the fearless embodiment of the Yellow Jacket spirit.

Wreck Parade

The Ramblin’ Wreck Parade, held before every Homecoming football game, began in 1932 when Dean Floyd Field suggested a parade of contraptions to replace the “Old Ford Race” to Athens, which had proved too dangerous. Three classes of vehicles participate in the parade in this order: Classic cars, which must be at least 25 years old; themed cars that have been only

cosmetically modified; and “contraptions” — vehicles with studentfabricated drive trains that are judged on creativity and effective operation.

Tech Tower

Easily identified by the five-foot letters that spell “TECH,” the Tech Tower was one of the first two buildings erected on campus. When classes began in 1888, a shop building with another tower stood adjacent to Tech Tower.

The shop building burned in 1892 and was rebuilt the same year — but without a tower.

The shop building remained next to Tech Tower until it was torn down in 1968.

The Whistle

One of the most vivid memories students take with them from Georgia Tech is the sound of the steam whistle, which has been at Tech from the beginning, mimicking the industrial whistles of the times, calling students to their shop classes. Today, the whistle signals the change of classes and also sounds when Tech scores a touchdown or wins a football game.

Additionally, the whistle is blown at the spring remembrance ceremony, “When the Whistle Blows,” as a final farewell to any students, faculty, or staff members who passed away the previous year.

Traditions and History... continued The Ramblin’ Wreck

George P. Burdell

In 1961, a restored gold, white, and black 1930 Model A Ford made its first appearance on Grant Field. That automobile became the embodiment of the name “Ramblin’ Wreck,” which applies to the student body, athletic teams, and the famous Georgia Tech fight song.

William Edgar Smith created George P. Burdell in 1927 when he received two application forms from Georgia Tech. He filled the extra one out for a nonexistant applicant named after his Academy of Richmond headmaster, Major George Phineas Butler. (Butler had also been captain of the first UGA football team to play — and lose — to Tech in 1893.) Smith wanted the Academy of Richmond to receive Tech mail for the rest of Butler’s life. However, as he was

completing the application, Smith changed the last name to Burdell for fear of reprisal. Smith developed Burdell into a legitimate student by signing Burdell’s name along with his own on all of his class rolls and submitting separate exams for both himself and Burdell — with handwriting different enough to convince professors that Burdell was an actual student.

In 1930, Burdell received a bachelor’s degree from Georgia Tech.

Giving Women Hope The Ovarian Cancer Institute at Georgia Tech in Atlanta is producing innovative research that will lead to an early diagnostic tool and more effective treatment therapies.

Every year an estimated 21,500 women in the United States are diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

This “silent killer� currently has no means of effective early detection. It will cause about 15,500 deaths this year alone.

The Ovarian Cancer Institute at Georgia Tech is passionately pursuing scientific breakthroughs that will lead to a reliable screening test for this deadly disease. We are committed to changing the odds against ovarian cancer.

Georgia Tech knows complicated research challenges cannot be solved on our own. By partnering with other major universities and leading medical professionals, our scientists are working to solve this and many other biomedical engineering challenges.

Where Imagination Meets Innovation The Georgia Institute of Technology’s InVenture Prize encourages undergraduate students to explore their potential by thinking creatively.

The continuous glucose monitor, a finalist in the competition, is one example of how our students apply their knowledge to meet real-world needs.

This device represents the type of innovation that occurs daily at Georgia Tech.

As one of the nation’s leading technological research universities, we encourage our talented students to pursue their passion for discovery and entrepreneurship.

To learn more about Georgia Tech and our many innovations, visit our website.

The Georgia Tech students who created the continuous glucose monitor are, from left, Sonya Parpat, Elizabeth Bramblett, Kimberly Roush, and Meredith Goolsby.

Cooperative Education Tech encourages students to enhance their education through participation in research, study and work abroad opportunities, internships, and the Cooperative Education Program. In fact, we have the largest voluntary co-op program in the nation.

Around 35 percent of Tech students participate in the co-op program, alternating three semesters on the job with semesters on campus. This earn-while-you-learn program generates more than $10 million in annual earnings for our students.

Georgia Tech works with co-op employers all over the nation and the world, so students who

20 | Georgia Tech

want to work abroad, move a little closer to home, or broaden their horizons in a new city have many options to choose from.

For students who want to participate in the coop program without putting their campus life on hold, Tech’s location offers a distinct advantage, as more than half of our “co-opportunities” are in and around the Atlanta area. Students who

co-op locally can remain in their residence hall, continue to use campus facilities such as the Campus Recreation Center, and stay involved in their clubs and organizations. This is such a plus that many out-of-state employers offer housing and other incentives to make it more attractive for Tech students to leave Atlanta.

Georgia Tech’s co-op program is administered by the Center for Career Discovery and Development. The program, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012, is consistently listed in U.S. News & World Report as one of the nation’s top 10 co-op programs. www.careerdiscovery.gatech.edu
