Industrial Management ‘71 and Professor of the Practice at the Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business, is passionate about giving back to his alma mater.

He has established several scholarships under the Todd Family Fund to support the next generation of students, including a new Grady Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Scholarship. The scholarship is inspired by his personal experiences with EMTs and Lianna Homrich, a pre-med Biology student in his Management in the Healthcare Sector class.

Like many Georgia Tech professors, Todd spends time after class talking to his students about their career aspirations. One day, while talking to Homrich about Grady Memorial Hospital, he learned that she is an EMT with Central EMS and a member of EMS at Tech, a student organization dedicated to expanding access to and knowledge of emergency medical services at Georgia Tech.

The EMS at Tech Club piqued Todd’s interest, and he immediately saw a gap he wanted to fill. The organization, coupled with his experience being transported by Grady ambulances three times in 18 months, sparked the idea to create the scholarship.
