Join the Georgia Tech Student Foundation as we work to Educate the student body on how philanthropy impacts Georgia Tech and everything that we enjoy at the university as a student. Each event will teach students about one of the four pillars of the Georgia Tech Student Foundation; stewardship, awareness, gratitude, and giving.
Student education and awareness is done via tabling on campus at either Tech Walkway or West Village depending on the weather.
Event Schedule:
Monday: Where Does Your Money Go?
April 5 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Location: Tech Walk Way and West Village
Join the Georgia Tech Student Foundation and learn where your $10 SAA donation goes — Interact with our ‘Where does your money go’ survey either on social media or in person at one of our tabling locations at Tech Walkway and West Village. All submissions will be tracked in real-time and shared with event attendees.
Tuesday: Alumni Thank You Letters
April 6 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Evidence shows that actively practising gratitude leads to a healthier and happier life so why not take a few minutes out of your day to practice gratitude and say thanks to Georgia Tech’s biggest supporters: Alumni Donors.

Participants can also join in on Instagram and be entered into a raffle for a gift card.
