It\u2019s a simple idea: students send a thank-you note to someone who is helping them learn (or has helped in the past) \u2014 and in doing so, they let Georgia Tech know that students value good teaching.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL) is partnering with Georgia Tech Student Ambassadors to make this program a huge success.

CETL then prints the note and sends it to the appropriate person with a certificate and letter explaining that a student has written a note on their behalf. Recipients of the notes are then invited to attend the annual Dean Griffin Day Luncheon, a gala event that is hosted by the Georgia Tech Student Ambassadors.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDean George C.
