Every summer, Georgia Tech Alumni Networks across the country hold Student Send-off celebrations, bringing together incoming and current Ramblin’ Wrecks, their parents and local alumni.
For students, it’s a day to make new friends and learn from those who’ve traveled the paths of Tech before. For parents, it’s an opportunity to hear more about the Institute from alumni and discuss the opportunities available with other soon-to-be Tech moms and dads (and to commiserate over the joys and stresses of impending empty nests).
And for local grads, it’s a day to meet and congratulate the students who one day also will earn the distinction of calling themselves “Georgia Tech alumni.”
Tim Farley, now a second-year computer science student, attended a Student Send-Off hosted by the San Francisco/Northern California Georgia Tech Network last summer.
“Through talking with [the hosts] and other alumni, I was much more comfortable about attending GT and had a good idea of what to expect,” he said. “I walked away with a wealth of important information and helpful hints. I can certainly tell that my parents are more at ease too!”
