Dear Parents,

Congratulations on becoming part of the Georgia Tech family! Your student is joining the ranks of one of the leading technological research institutions in the world … it’s an amazing place made up of amazing people.

Three years ago, we began the journey you begin this summer. The experience of seeing your student off to college is bittersweet, to be sure, but know that they’re in good hands: the administration and faculty and staff at Tech take seriously the trust you’ve placed in the institution, and they are committed to helping your student continue their academic success.

Our son – who enters his fourth year at Tech this August – has grown and matured in remarkable ways. He’s made new friends, traveled the world, and has become a member of a collegiate community that challenges him each day. Whether on North Avenue or during his two study-abroad semesters, these experiences are preparing him for a successful career and a life of service and accomplishment. He has become an independent adult and a serious learner. (And, yes, we are proud of him and grateful to Georgia Tech!)

You may be aware that part of Tech’s recipe for success is parental involvement through volunteer service and personal giving. We invite you to join us in demonstrating your support through active participation in the Tech Parents Association. As the parent of a new member of the Tech community, we welcome you and encourage you to offer wisdom, time, and a level of philanthropy you find to be most suitable. For more information on how you can give, or to learn more about the Parents Advisory Board, please visit our website. 

Welcome to the family. Go Jackets!

Sincerely,

Paul & Susan Grier

Co-Chairs, Parents Advisory Board
