  <title><![CDATA[In Photos: School of Economics 2021 Alumni Homecoming Tailgate ]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The School of Economics alumni homecoming tailgate was a blast! We had fun catching up with old friends and making new ones before the Georgia Tech vs. Virginia Tech homecoming football game on Saturday, Oct. 30.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The hot coffee flowed, and breakfast burritos and biscuit sandwiches kept us warm on a chilly day. We also had raffle prizes, giant Jenga, and some exceptional guests: two of the first three graduates from the School of Economics in 1971!</p>

<p>It was a pleasure to meet Philip Cheaney and Bill Thompson, Jr.&nbsp;after honoring them at our virtual&nbsp;<a href="https://iac.gatech.edu/news/item/645731/ivan-allen-college-celebrates-distinguished-alumni" rel="noopener" target="_blank">2021 Distinguished Alumni Awards</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://econ.gatech.edu/life-georgia-tech-50-years-ago">sharing their memories</a>&nbsp;from their time at Georgia Tech&nbsp;50 years ago. Of course, it was great catching up with all the other alumni, students, and faculty who stopped by as well!</p>

<p>Thank you for coming out to celebrate&nbsp;<a href="https://econ.gatech.edu/news/item/647082/endowment-celebrates-years-economics-tech">50 years of economics at Georgia Tech</a>&nbsp;with us &mdash; we can&#39;t wait to see you next year!&nbsp;</p>

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
