FAST FACTS
Notes:
a. GTF’s decrease in revenues were attributed to:
1. Total gift income increased $34 million due to the success of the Capital Campaign.
2. Investment income was down $159M in FY15 due to a delcine in investment returns.
b. GTAA’s increase in revenues from 65.7 to 80.9 were mainly attributed to the following:
1. Additional ticket sales attributed to having UGA and FSU on the home football schedule.
2. Decreased investment returns of $12 million due to decline in investment return rates
3. GTAA Gifts decreased due to the ending of a pledge campaign for facility upgrades.
c. GTRC revenues for Grants and Contracts were up by approximately $40M. Related Expense
for Grants and Contracts are equally offset.
d. Program expenses increased due to GT’s use of GTF funds increasing in FY15 and also an
increase in resources available (increased gifts).
e. The increase in expenses from FY14’s $12M to FY15’s $14.6M is directly related to the
renancing the MFH and MSE bonds in FY14.
f. Alumni gifts increased in FY15. Related Expenses are equally offset.
The above information is taken directly from each afliate's audited annual nancial
statements. Revenues and expenses may not necessarily reect an afliate’s operating

BOARD OF REGENTS
Table 2.1 Members and Terms of Appointment of the Board of Regents
Source: University System of Georgia website: www.usg.edu
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia was created in 1931 as a part of a reorganization of Georgia’s state government. With this act, public higher education in Georgia was unied for
the rst time under a single governing and management authority. The governor appoints members of the Board to a seven year term and regents may be reappointed to subsequent terms by a sitting governor.
Regents donate their time and expertise to serve the state through their governance of the University System of Georgia – the position is a voluntary one without nancial remuneration. Today the Board of
Regents is composed of 19 members, ve of whom are appointed from the state-at-large, and one from each of the state’s 14 congressional districts. The Board elects a chancellor who serves as its chief ex-
ecutive ofcer and the chief administrative ofcer of the University System. The Board oversees the colleges and universities that comprise the University System of Georgia and has oversight of the Georgia
Archives and the Georgia Public Library System.
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
The University System of Georgia, a part of the community in each of Georgia’s 159 counties, provides services across the state. The University System is composed of 29 higher education institutions in-
cluding 4 research universities, 4 comprehensive universities, 10 state universities and 11 state colleges. The Georgia Public Library System, encompassing approximately 389 branches in 61 public library
systems throughout Georgia, is also part of the University System. Additionally, the University System includes the Georgia Archives which identies, collects, manages, preserves, publicizes, and provides

Provost Rafael Bras was one of nine senior academic ofcials named to Coursera’s rst advisory board. Each member represents a university partnered with Coursera to offer free massive open
online courses (MOOCs). The Institute had previously signed an agreement with Coursera to put the Institute’s Web-based courses online and create new opportunities for hands-on learning in the
classroom. A 15-piece international sculpture exhibition by various artists was installed on the Georgia Tech campus. The sculptures are on loan to the Institute through June 2014. The exhibition
is curated by internationally acclaimed, Chattanooga-based sculptor John Henry, whose work also appears in the exhibition. Five Georgia Tech students are selected to participate in NASA’s 2013
class of Space Technology Research Fellows, making Tech the most widely represented institution in the program. The Tech students selected for the program are Hisham Ali, Alexandra Long,
Matthew Miller, August Noevere, and Olutobi Ogunleye. Other recipients of prestigious student awards included Rhodes Scholar Joy Buolamwini, Marshall Scholar Jacob Tzegaegbe, and Gold
water Scholar Gautam Goel. A new executive leadership team was appointed for Georgia Tech Professional Education consisting of four scholars and education professionals. Under the leadership
of Dean Nelson Baker, the team is made up of Leo Mark, Patrice Miles, Mark Weston, and Diane Lee. The Georgia Tech community celebrated the 10th anniversary of Technology Square, a
development that has spurred the evolution of a renowned innovation ecosystem. To help meet the growing demand for support to Georgia technology entrepreneurs and startup companies, the
Institute announced a strengthening and realigning of resources in its Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC), which includes increased staff and new facilities. Forbes magazine
named ATDC one of the “Business Incubators Changing the World,” and Michael Hersh was named ATDC’s general manager. Steven French was named dean of the College of Architecture. Paul
Goldbart was named dean of the College of Sciences. Ravi Bellamkonda was named chair of the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering. David Sholl was named chair of the
School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. Azad Naeemi of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award. Mike Bobinski
of Xavier University was named director of athletics. Alumnus Al Trujillo was named president and chief operating ofcer of the Georgia Tech Foundation. Alumnus Ronald Johnson, a retired
two-star Army General, was named professor of the practice in Industrial and Systems Engineering and managing director of the Tennenbaum Institute. The Institute for Materials (IMat) was
launched, the result of a nearly $10 million investment that Georgia Tech has committed through 2018 to establish an interdisciplinary materials innovation ecosystem. IMat will play a leadership
role in accelerating materials discovery, development, and application. The Scheller College of Business established the Center on Business Strategies for Sustainability, made possible by a grant
from the Ray C. Anderson Foundation. U.S. News & World Report ranked Georgia Tech number 7 among the nation’s public universities; the College of Engineering’s undergraduate and graduate
programs were ranked number 5 among all American universities. The Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons earned LEED Platinum certication designation less than two years after open
ing. The Highland Bakery opened in the Bradley Building, the former location of Junior’s Grill. Total funds raised through Campaign Georgia Tech stood at nearly $1.25 billion as of
June 30, 2013. The Campaign’s goal is to raise $1.5 billion by December 31, 2015.
2014 Georgia Tech received one of the largest gifts in its history in June when the Institute of Paper Chemistry Foundation (IPCF) announced a $44.4 million grant. The grant prompted the renaming of
the former Institute of Paper Science and Technology as the Renewable Bioproducts Institute, which is charged with advancing research and education in a broad range of biomaterials,
biochemicals, and bioproducts with a focus on using renewable forest raw materials in biofuels, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage packaging, health and hygiene, and electronics.
The IPCF grant brought Campaign Georgia Tech closer to its goal of $1.5 billion. At the close of Fiscal Year 2014, the Campaign total stood at $1.42 billion with 18 months remaining.
Substantial progress continued in the implementation of Georgia Tech’s 25-year Strategic Plan, “Designing the Future.” Various campus initiatives received guidance from the release of the
Strategic Plan Advisory Group’s initial feedback on the plan’s implementation. As a part of Georgia Tech’s once-a-decade reafrmation of accreditation process, signicant progress was made on
the development of a Quality Enhancement Plan for Student Learning (QEP). Five QEP concepts were presented to the QEP Advisory Committee, which worked diligently to select a QEP by
year’s end. Melissa McCoy, a 2012 chemical and biomolecular engineering graduate, was named the fth Rhodes Scholar in Georgia Tech history. McCoy’s Rhodes research project focused on
problems with water management and purication, with the goal of removing heavy metals from water. Nicholas Picon, a 2014 aerospace engineering graduate, was named a Marshall Scholar. His

research focus was international conict and the prevention of war. Thomas Kieffer (physics/mathematics) and Mohamad Najia (biomedical engineering) were named Goldwater Scholars.
Approximately 375 students began coursework as the inaugural class in Georgia Tech’s online Master of Science in Computer Science program, the rst degree program from an accredited
university that operates entirely on the “massive online” platform. Georgia Tech’s global engagement efforts took a signicant step forward with the launch of the Lafayette Institute in Metz,
France. Adjacent to the Georgia Tech-Lorraine campus, the Lafayette Institute provides state-of-the-art nanofabrication facilities for innovations in organic and inorganic optoelectronics and
advanced materials research. The 20,000-square-foot facility has a 5,000-square-foot clean room and more than $12 million in scientic equipment. The Georgia ImmunoEngineering Consortium
(GIEC) – a new research partnership between Emory University and Georgia Tech – was launched to apply the principles of engineering to study the immune system and develop new therapies
that can improve the immune response to diseases. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson met with Georgia Tech students and other members of the campus community to
discuss the Institute’s contributions to the eld. Maryam Alavi, former interim dean of Emory University’s Goizueta Business School, was named dean of the Ernest Scheller Jr. College of
Business. Provost Rafael Bras was appointed to the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board, a 19-member panel comprised of scientists, business executives, academics, and former government
ofcials. Margaret Wagner Dahl, a veteran of research commercialization and technology-based economic development, was named associate vice president for Health IT. In this position, Dahl
leads the evelopment and expansion of Georgia Tech’s efforts within the health information technology industry. Abigail Parsons was named the rst director of the LGBTQIA Resource Center,
and David Ross was named the rst director of the Veteran’s Resource Center. Both units are housed within the Division of Student Affairs. A. Madison Cario was named the rst director of the
Ofce of the Arts at Georgia Tech. Through its new Arts@Tech initiative, the Institute purchased eight pieces from the 2013-14 “Engineered Art: An International Sculpture Exhibition.” The eight
sculptures are on permanent display at various campus locations. The Academic Faculty, Academic Senate, and General Faculty voted to approve revisions to the Faculty Handbook that streamline
denitions of faculty and retire the longtime “general faculty” designation. The action also created a Staff Council, which provides a vehicle for Institute staff members to convey their unique
perspectives and concerns to the Georgia Tech administration.
2015 For the rst time in 80 years, a sitting U.S. president visited Georgia Tech to address the campus community. On March 10, President Barack Obama addressed a wildly enthusiastic crowd of
nearly 10,000 students, faculty, staff, and guests in McCamish Pavilion. Obama’s speech focused on the ways he hopes to make higher education more affordable and accessible, and he rallied
support for a new declaration of values he called the Student Aid Bill of Rights. Drawing thunderous applause and raucous cheers, the president referred to Georgia Tech as “one of the nest
technical institutes in the world.” Obama’s visit was the rst time a sitting president had come to campus since Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed a capacity crowd at Grant Field in 1935 following
his dedication of the former Techwood Housing Project; he stayed to watch that year’s Homecoming game. Several Georgia Tech leaders participated in Summit of the Americas, a forum for
convening leaders from North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. The 2015 summit took place in Panama, where Tech alumnus Juan Carlos Varela was elected president
in 2014. Georgia Tech also served as an event organizer for the Summit of the Americas’ rst Forum of University Presidents, which convened 400 university leaders and other high-ranking
ofcials from 35 countries, including U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. The presidents discussed prosperity and university education, as well as cooperation challenges between countries.
Georgia Tech received a commitment for $30 million from The Kendeda Fund to build what is expected to become the most environmentally advanced education and research building
in the Southeast. The commitment represents The Kendeda Fund’s largest single grant, and is one of the largest gifts in the Institute’s history. The facility will provide the opportunity to create
a living-learning laboratory for hands-on education and research that will serve as a model for the region and similar environments around the world. Two of the Institute’s college deans were
appointed to their second ve-year terms: Zvi Galil in the College of Computing and Jacqueline Royster in the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts. Galil was cited for his creative and
forward-thinking leadership in launching the Online Master of Science in Computer Science program, as well as his strong commitment to undergraduate education and research excellence.
Royster was commended for articulating the role of the liberal arts at Tech, dening the College’s institutional role as “innovation at the crossroads of humanities, social science, and technology.”

president of student life at West Virginia University. He was succeeded by Dean of Students John M. Stein, who assumed the new title of vice president for student life. The Ofce of the Arts and
the Poetry@Tech program kicked off the Arts@Tech Salon Series with the great-grandson of Winston Churchill — Duncan Sandys — discussing the legendary British prime minister’s passion for
painting and the role it played in his life. Georgia Tech admitted the most competitive freshman class in Institute history, offering admission to only 31 percent of applicants, the lowest level ever.
Luis Guillermo Solís, president of the Republic of Costa Rica, gave a special campus lecture on “Latin America and its Global Insertion: The Case of Costa Rica,” followed by a visit with students,
faculty, and staff. U.S. News & World Report ranked the College of Engineering’s undergraduate programs at No. 5 and its graduate programs at No. 6 nationally. Rock legends The Rolling Stones
brought their ZIP CODE tour to Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field. The sold-out concert — attended by many students, faculty, and staff — marked the Stones’ rst appearance at Tech
since their Steel Wheels tour in 1989. The Institute marked the 50th anniversary of the graduation of Ronald Yancey, the rst African-American student to earn a degree from Georgia Tech.
Yancey’s career as an electrical engineer included work with the U.S. Department of Defense as well as the private sector.

ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY
Dr. G.P. “Bud” Peterson became the 11th president of Georgia Tech on April 1, 2009. Under his leadership Georgia Tech has developed and begun the implementation of a 25-year strategic plan,
launched the public phase of Campaign Georgia Tech, experienced increased enrollment, expanded innovative collaborations and strategic partnerships, expanded the campus infrastructure, and
increased national visibility.
Peterson came to Georgia Tech from the University of Colorado at Boulder, where he served as chancellor. Prior to that, he served as provost at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York,
and on the faculty and in leadership positions at Texas A&M University for 19 years. He has worked for NASA and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Throughout his career, Peterson has played an active role in helping to establish the national education and research agendas, serving on many industry, government, and academic task forces
and committees. He has served on a number of national accreditation agencies, with a focus on improving and assessing outcomes for higher education. He also has served on congressional task
forces, research councils, and advisory boards, including the Offi ce of Naval Research, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Department of Energy, the National Research
Council, and the National Academy of Engineering.
A distinguished scientist, Peterson was appointed in 2008 by President George W. Bush, and again in 2014 by President Barack Obama, to serve as a member of the National Science Board,
which oversees the NSF and advises the president and Congress on national policy related to science and engineering research and education. In 2010 he was named by U.S. Secretary of
Commerce Gary Locke to the National Advisory Council on Innovation and Entrepreneurship. President Obama appointed him to the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP) steering
committee in 2011, and to the AMP 2.0 steering committee in 2013. He serves on the NCAA’s Division I board of directors as the ACC representative, and on the Knight Commission on
Intercollegiate Athletics.
Peterson is a fellow of both the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), and received the AIAA Distinguished
Service Award in 2011. His research has focused on phase change heat transfer in both the cooling of electronic devices and spacecraft thermal control. He is widely published, authoring or
co-authoring 16 books or book chapters, 215 refereed journal articles, and more than 170 conference publications. He also holds ten patents, with four others pending.
Peterson earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, a second bachelor’s degree in mathematics, and a master’s degree in engineering, all from Kansas State University. He earned a
PhD in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M University. He and his wife, Val, have four adult children, two of whom are Georgia Tech alumni.
A top ten public research university in the U.S., Georgia Tech has outstanding programs in architecture, business, computing, engineering, liberal arts, and the sciences. With more than 23,000
students and 145,000 living alumni who work in business, industry, and government throughout the world, Georgia Tech has become internationally recognized for the quality of its educational
and research programs. Under Peterson’s leadership, Georgia Tech accepted an invitation in 2010 to become a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU), the fi rst university to
be invited to membership in nine years.
Georgia Tech’s research strategy focuses on creating transformative opportunities, strengthening collaboration, and maximizing economic and societal impact. With research expenditures of
more than $730 million, the Institute is among the nation’s top 10 in research expenditures for universities without a medical school.

Table 4.9 Georgia Tech's HOPE and Zell Miller Scholarship Program Summary,
2006-2007 through 2014-2015
HOPE Scholarship Program
The President’s Scholarship Program is Georgia Tech’s premier merit-based scholarship. Since
its inception in 1981, the program has maintained as its objective the selection and enrollment
of students who have demonstrated excellence in scholarship, leadership, progress, and service
and have strong potential to become leaders on campus and in the community. The scholarship
offers three levels of awards. For the students who entered Georgia Tech as rst-years in fall of
2015, the four-year award amounts were: Georgia resident: 1) full cost of attendance Stamps
Scholarship (n=5), and 2) full scholarship incl. tuition & fees, room & board (n=11); non-
Georgia resident: 1) full cost of attendance Stamps Scholarship (n=5), 2) full scholarship incl.
tuition & fees, room & board (n=20), and 3) Gold Scholarship (non-resident tuition waiver).
To ensure consideration for the President’s Scholarship, a student must submit the Georgia
Tech application for admission by October 15 of the fall prior to enrolling. The most quali-
ed applicants in terms of high school grades, course rigor, standardized test scores, writing
ability, and demonstrated leadership and involvement in activities are selected as scholarship
seminalists. Each seminalist is interviewed by a Regional Committee in January or February.
Approximately 100 of the top-ranked candidates in the competition are invited as nalists to
attend the President’s Scholarship Weekend on campus in the spring. About 40 will be offered
a President’s Scholarship in 2016.
HOPE -- Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally -- is Georgia’s unique program,
created by Governor Zell Miller, that rewards students’ hard work with nancial assistance
in degree, diploma, or certicate programs at any eligible Georgia public or private college,
university, or public technical institute. HOPE is funded by Georgia’s Lottery for Education.

Georgia Tech Library’s ve-year renewal project is a reimagining of resources, services and spaces in continuation of its commitment to research and learning excellence. This remarkable transformation will see the
Library become the model institution of the 21st century -- connected, responsive to sea changes in student and faculty need, and dedicated to the stewardship of analog information in a digital age. Put simply, the
Library Renewal allows the Library to grow from physical place to a connected, ubiquitous presence in the service of teaching, research and learning. Beginning with the closing of Crosland Tower, or Library East, on
Dec. 31, 2015, the renewal will see the opening of the Library Service Center, a partnership between Georgia Tech and Emory University, in January 2016. Crosland construction is slated to complete in 2018, at which
time Price Gilbert, or Library West, will close for construction through 2020. The Library will maintain 24/7 operations during the construction period. Study spaces, computer resources, expertise, and a core collection
of print materials will continue to be available during the renewal. For more information on this incredible transformation, visit renewal.library.gatech.edu or join our conversation on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
Library facilities include the Price Gilbert building, the Crosland Tower, the adjacent G. Wayne Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons (“Clough Commons”), a building dedicated to student academic enrichment
and innovative learning opportunities, the Architecture Library, and the Library Service Center. The Library West Commons (1st oor West) is comprised of 85 computer workstations for individual student productiv-

launching the programs, the Campus Kitchen at Georgia Tech has donated over 3,700 meals to those in need, including 1,200 to food insecure Georgia Tech students. Every step of our culinary process
is sustainable, from the local ingredients used in our recipes to the compostable packaging featured at our retail locations. Through partnerships with our local suppliers, we are also able to incorporate
environmentally responsible proteins including cage-free eggs, sustainably sourced seafood, and grass-fed Angus beef at our Community Restaurants. Once our food has been prepared, our team begins the
process of recovering or diverting any pre-consumer food waste we generate, which is food that never touches a plate. If the food is not being reserved due to our brand standards, we donate it to the Cam-
pus Kitchen at Georgia Tech. If we cannot donate the food, our locations either compost the food or place it in our bio-digester, which naturally converts it into water through the use of bacteria and en-
zymes. In addition to these programs, our pre-consumer, and post-consumer waste tracking through the LeanPath waste management system and the Weigh the Waste education program, are helping us to
achieve our goal to reduce our carbon footprint by 26%. Georgia Tech Dining Services and the Student Center have continued to improve the Georgia Tech Farmers Market each semester. This year, three
additional vendors were welcomed to the markets: including a gluten-free bakery, full service Asian café and bakery, and a premium jam, jelly, and preserve member. Other products offered at the market
include, artisan biscottis; sweet breads; cupcakes; pies; hot, iced, and whole bean coffees; and locally crafted lotions, bath salts, and soaps. The Georgia Tech Farmers Market allows the Georgia Tech com-
munity convenient access to local, affordable, and sustainable food throughout the fall and spring semesters. Due to food allergies, vegan and vegetarian preferences, and increasing nutritional awareness
on campus, our Registered Dietician takes an active role in the creating and planning of healthy dining options in our Community Restaurants. We have three programs that focus on health and wellness;
Mindful, MyFitnessPal and Simple Servings. For students, faculty, staff, alumni and visitors interested in learning more about these and other programs please, visit our website at www.gatechdining.com.

I’m a Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech and a helluva engineer, A helluva, helluva, helluva, helluva, hell of an engineer.
Those words from one of America’s most famous ght songs typify the spirit of athletics at Georgia Tech, a school with a tradition of integrity and success that is second to none. Ever since 1892, when the
rst football team was organized on The Flats, Georgia Tech teams in all sports have represented the Institute in outstanding fashion while producing some of the best-known names in athletics.
Georgia Tech participates in 17 varsity sports, and also includes the following departments: a Total Person program, compliance, business, development, ticketing, marketing, facilities, communications
and sports medicine. The most important function of Georgia Tech athletics, however, is academic support.
The Georgia Tech Athletic Association is a non-prot organization responsible for maintaining the intercollegiate athletics program at Tech. The Athletic Association (GTAA) is overseen by the Georgia
Tech Athletic Association Board, chaired by the president of the Institute and composed of the Executive Vice President of Administration and Finance, eight faculty members, three alumni members, and
three student members.
Over the past 100 years, Tech has had only 12 head football coaches: John Heisman (namesake of the coveted Heisman Trophy), William Alexander, Bobby Dodd, Bud Carson, Bill Fulcher, Pepper Rodg-
ers, Bill Curry, Bobby Ross, Bill Lewis, George O’Leary, Chan Gailey and current coach Paul Johnson.
Tech has won four National Championships in football in the years 1917, 1928, 1952, and 1990. Other major highlights in sports have been two Final Four appearances by the Tech men’s basketball team
in 1990 and 2004, nine NCAA Tournament appearances by women’s basketball and three College World Series berths in baseball. The GT women’s tennis team captured the 2007 NCAA Championship,
our rst ever NCAA team championship. In 2008, Amanda McDowell became the rst Yellow Jacket tennis player to earn an individual national championship by winning the NCAA Singles title. The
Georgia Tech golf team is consistently among the top national nishers and has won 16 ACC titles and eight in the last 10 years.
Some of the most prominent names in Georgia Tech athletic history have been Grand Slam Champion Bobby Jones, former Masters champion Larry Mize, British Open champions David Duval and
Stewart Cink, Tour Money Titleist Matt Kuchar in golf; a host of football starts including 18 College Football Hall of Famers and Tech also produced four Olympic gold medal winners in track: Anto-
nio McKay, Derek Mills, Derrick Adkins and Angelo Taylor, as well as three-time NCAA high jump champion and 2004 U.S. Olympian Chaunte Howard in women’s track. Major League baseball stars
include graduates Mark Teixeira, Nomar Garciaparra, Kevin Brown, Jason Varitek and Matt Weiters. Georgia Tech’s men’s basketball has a rich history with star players that include Roger Kaiser, Rich
Yunkus, Mark Price, John Salley, Kenny Anderson, Stephon Marbury, Matt Harpring, Jarrett Jack, Chris Bosh and Derrick Favors.
Tech’s facilities rank among the nest in college athletics. Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field, one of America’s oldest and most recognized football venues, has undergone an expansion and
renovation project that raised its capacity to 55,000. Tech boasts Russ Chandler Baseball Stadium, a consistant site of NCAA Regional and Super Regional play. The McCamish Pavilion, home to Georgia
Tech’s men’s and women’s basketball teams, replaced the Alexander Memorial Coliseum beginning with the 2012-13 seasons. The Georgia Tech Aquatic Center will be the site of the 2016 NCAA Men’s
and Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships. The Aquatic Center also hosted the 2006 NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships, and was originally home to the 1966 Olympic swim-
ming and diving competition. In 2009, the softball team began playing in the Shirley Clements Mewborn Field, and the men’s and women’s basketball teams moved into a new state-of-the-art practice
facility, the Zelnak Center. The Ken Byers Tennis Facility opened in January 2013. The hub of Georgia Tech athletics is the Arthur Edge Intercollegiate Athletics Center, which houses administrative and
coaching staffs, a dining hall, locker rooms, training and weight facilities and the Andrew Hearn Academic Center.
Georgia Tech teams participate in the Atlantic Coast Conference, generally regarded as one of the best collegiate conferences in the country. The primary purpose of the Athletic Association is to help each
student-athlete grow as a person, develop as an athlete, earn a meaningful degree and become a productive citizen.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The Georgia Tech Alumni Association was chartered in June 1908 and incorporated in 1947 as a not-for-prot organization with policies, goals and objectives guided by a board of trustees.
The mission of the Georgia Tech Alumni Association is to promote and serve our alumni and the Institute. We will continually create relevant and meaningful programs for current and future
alumni to foster lifelong participation and philanthropic support. We will communicate the achievements of the Institute, maintain its traditions and engage the campus community. Underlying
all that we do is the belief in the value of education, the commitment to integrity and exceptional customer service, and a pledge that we will perform in a scally responsible manner.
The association’s business can be categorized into four major disciplines: the proactive acquisition and management of information about Tech’s alumni and friends; communication to these
constituents; engagement of these supporters and fund raising. These disciplines are at the heart of building value for Tech’s alumni in their relationships with the Institute. The association is
currently organized into ve departments: Administration, Marketing & Communications; Alumni Outreach; Events & Student Outreach; and Fund Raising & Business Development.
Administration is responsible for three major operations at the association: treasury functions, including accounting, purchasing, nance and budgeting; data management operations, including
data and gift entry and maintenance of biographical and gift records for all alumni and friends of the Institute; and technical services for the association’s hardware, information services and
management of the facilities and other assets. During FY 2015, Administration processed 188,000 changes affecting 89 million elds of data in the database and entered more than 50,000 gifts
and pledges.
The Marketing Department serves a crucial role at the Alumni Association by providing important research and communicating with Tech alumni. Through research, the department provides
key data and analytics to shape the association’s strategies and planning. With print and electronic marketing campaigns, the marketing team delivers the alumni association’s message to its
numerous constituents. Marketing’s web department drives the Alumni Association’s online presence through social media and the recently revamped website, gtalumni.org. Last year, the new
gtalumni.org was launched with the goal of creating a data-driven marketing tool that would increase alumni engagement and personalized communication. Over 25,000 alumni have registered
on the new website which fosters networking, communicates relevant news and provides a forum for personalized alumni proles, photos, event registrations, giving and biographical update
capabilities. Through social media, the marketing department engages with alumni on sites they visit regularly such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and Instagram.
The Communications Department consists of Alumni Publications and the Living History program. Alumni Publications produces the quarterly Georgia Tech Alumni Magazine, the primary
news link between Georgia Tech and its alumni, with an annual circulation of more than 300,000. Alumni Publications also produces the association’s monthly e-newsletter, Buzzwords, sent to
an average of 70,000 subscribers. Publications provides supplemental content through the magazine website, gtalumnimag.com, along with timely news and updates through various media. The
Living History program collects, preserves and presents the history of Georgia Tech and its traditions through video interviews with alumni, retired Georgia Tech faculty, staff and friends. To
date, this popular program has collected over 1,000 stories in its archive. In addition, Living History produces several documentary lms and provides an average of 35 presentations about the
Institute’s history to the Georgia Tech community each year.
Alumni Outreach focuses on the engagement and involvement of alumni in support of each other and Georgia Tech. Advocacy, philanthropy, career services and student recruiting are strategic
focal points. Responsibilities include Alumni Career Services, Alumni Groups, Geographic Alumni Networks and Alumni Travel. For over 90 years, Alumni Career Services has provided job
search support for Tech alumni, including job postings and resume database through JacketNet Jobs, career advisement, skill-building workshops and the annual Alumni Career Fair. More than
100 Georgia Tech geographic networks and afnity groups located throughout the United States and abroad provide opportunities for alumni to network professionally, socialize, recruit students,
raise funds and perform community service. The Travel Department led over 30 educational group tours to exciting destinations around the world for over 450 Tech alumni and friends.
Events & Student Outreach is responsible for engaging alumni, students and the rest of the Tech community in a variety of ways. The Events team planned and executed approximately 75 of the
association’s major events and engaged 14,338 members of the Tech community in FY 2015. Events included the George C. Grifn Pi Mile 5k Road Race, The Gold & White Honors Gala, The
Orange Bowl tailgate, and Homecoming among many others. The team partners with other association departments to stage events such as the Alumni Career Fair, association board meetings

and student graduation event, Ramblin’ On. The Events team also planned one of Georgia Tech’s most exclusive events, the President’s Dinner, a celebration for Roll Call Leadership Circle
donors.
The Student Outreach department actively engaged 60,392 members of the campus community while focusing on its primary goal: to collaborate with students and various campus organizations
to construct and implement a comprehensive student loyalty program. The foundation of this program is the Student Alumni Association (SAA) which re-launched on 9/9/10. SAA ended this
year with 5,282 members/donors, the largest student organization on campus. Student Outreach also manages the Student Ambassadors and the nationally recognized GT Student Foundation.
The Fundraising/Business Development department is responsible for raising monies through the Association’s annual Roll Call and for building external revenue streams to support the
Association’s ability to run its operations. The Business Development department handles advertising and sponsorships, merchandise and afnity relationships with the Association’s vendors.
Partnering companies include Liberty Mutual, Commerce Energy and Sam’s Club.
Roll Call is the single largest source of predictable, unrestricted funds at Georgia Tech, representing the broadest base of support for the Institute. More than 34,900 donors contributed more
than $9.4 million to the 68th annual Roll Call. Research-driven direct marketing, telemarketing and personal solicitations are used to manage a program that is among the leading group of public
institutions in the percentage of alumni annual giving. Unrestricted funds provide for student scholarships and nancial aid, assist the Institute in recruiting and retaining top faculty and support
new academic programs.
Ofces of the Alumni Association are located in the L. W. “Chip” Robert, Jr. Alumni House at 190 North Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30313. Inquiries may be directed to 404-894-2391 or 1-800-GT

Georgia Tech is a major center for advanced technology in Georgia and the southeast. With nearly 3,000 academic and research faculty and more than 25,000 graduate and undergraduate students, the
Institute conducts research of national signicance, provides research services and facilities to faculty, students, industry, and government agencies, and supports the economic and technological growth of
the state and nation.
Georgia Tech ranks among the nation’s top ten universities (without a medical school) in sponsored expenditures, which top $730 million. This is a reection of both the caliber of our faculty and staff and
the scope of our research enterprise. Georgia Tech’s research strategy is focused on creating transformative opportunities, strengthening collaborative partnerships, and enhancing economic and societal
impact.
Research activities are carried out through Georgia Tech’s academic units, research institutes, centers, and laboratories. All of our research is faculty led and powered by ideas. Most of the research is
supported by contracts with government organizations and private industry. The Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC), a non-prot organization incorporated under the laws of the state of Georgia,
serves as the contracting agency. It also licenses intellectual property created at Georgia Tech, including patents, software, trade secrets, and other similar properties.
We believe that much of the research that will change our world will be interdisciplinary in nature, and as a result we continue to work to create the world’s foremost innovation ecosystem that incorporates
the pursuit of game changing research and then helps build the research leaders of tomorrow and moves our research results from the lab to real-world use. This provides our government and industry
research partners with a competitive advantage, while beneting the economy and society.
An additional benet our partners and sponsors realize through collaboration with Georgia Tech is access to our students. Through a number of experiential learning activities, students get real-world,
hands-on, experience that helps them become job-ready upon graduation. They also bring a new level of creativity and innovative thinking to some of the tough research problems we are trying to solve.
Many companies have also established innovation centers on or near Georgia Tech to allow easier access to students and the Institute's world-class research expertise and research infrastructure.
Georgia Tech is proud of the diversity and strength of its research programs and conducts research in a wide range of engineering, science, computing, architecture, public policy, social sciences,
management, and related areas. The Institute’s core research areas are:
• Data Engineering Science • Bioengineering & Bioscience
• Electronics & Nanotechnology • Manufacturing, Trade & Logistics
• Materials • National Security
• Renewable Bioproducts • People & Technology
• Public Service, Leadership & Policy • Robotics
• Energy & Sustainable Infrastructure • Systems
The Executive Vice President for Research (EVPR) is the chief research ofcer for Georgia Tech. Working closely with Georgia Tech’s colleges, afliated units, and faculty, the EVPR provides strategic and
central administration leadership for all research, economic development, and related support units within the Institute.
This includes direct oversight of the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), the Enterprise Innovation Institute (EI
2
), Georgia Tech’s Interdisciplinary Research Institutes, Georgia Tech’s Ofce of Industry
Collaboration, and the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC).
