One of the most important missions at Tech is to promote service and social change. The Office of Leadership and Civic Engagement exemplifies this mission and Parents Fund dollars supports their programs. One of these programs, Small Act Big Impact, provides personal hygiene kits for the Atlanta Mission: Atlanta Day Shelter for Women and Children and this year the Parents Fund was a proud sponsor of this student-led service project that helped to assemble more than 1,000 critical needs kits.

In September we hosted our fall Parents Advisory Board meeting and the Board Members were also given the opportunity to participate in this service project hosted by Director of Leadership and Civic Engagement Gerome Stephens and Civic Engagement Coordinator Sarah Perkins. After hearing a presentation on Small Act Big Impact and the incredible amount of support the students showed to the cause, the board members helped assemble kits to be donated to the Atlanta Mission. Additionally, they crafted personal notes of encouragement and drew pictures of Yellow Jacket pride to show just how much Tech supports these women and children as they begin to establish self-sufficiency. If you would like more information on the Parents Fund or would like to invest in student activities on campus please contact us today.
