In recent weeks, two of Tech’s most esteemed student-run groups have given fellow Ramblin’ Wrecks even more reasons to be proud.
On Sept. 17, the Student Alumni Association brought home two honors from the annual CASE ASAP Network Awards ceremony. Mentor Jackets won for Outstanding Internal Program, and the Expert Jackets speakers series was named Outstanding External Program. The annual CASE ASAP awards recognize “outstanding student and adviser leadership and achievements as well as outstanding student educational advancement programming” among the organization’s 400 member institutions, which include student alumni associations, student foundations and other groups at universities nationwide.
And last Friday, as the Georgia Tech Student Foundation capped off its first-annual Philanthropy Week with a networking event on Tech Green, it was announced that the GTSF Endowment hit the $1 million mark for the first time in its 27-year history. The Endowment was seeded in 1986 by a donation from J. Erskine Love, ME 49, and has grown over the years under student leadership to become the largest entirely student-run endowment in the country.
There’s never a bad time to say it, but here it feels especially apt: Go Jackets!

Being able to talk with students at the networking event on the Tech Green was an exceptional experience for me. The CASE news makes it all the more meaningful.
