Stay Connected
Stay updated on news and events, share memories, and connect with old friends by signing up for your class book and following the Georgia Tech Alumni Association on social media. Find ways to get involved and alumni event information at gtalumni.org. Fill out the questionnaire and create a page in the Reunion Class Book to let us know what you've been up to.
But the best way to connect is in person — that’s why we hope to see you at Homecoming & Reunion Weekend on October 23–25, 2025! Stay tuned for more details about your reunion.
Let's Create A Class Legacy Together
Hey Class of 1985, we’re counting on you! Your milestone reunion gifts help advance the mission of Georgia Tech and its impact—on people’s lives, on the way we work together to create innovative solutions, and on our world—for decades to come.
This is our year. This is our Tech. Have you made your gift?

Dear friends:
It’s hard to believe how quickly time has passed since our days at Tech. This year marks our 40th year since graduating from Georgia Tech, and campus will be swarming with Yellow Jackets from the Class of 1985 attending class gatherings, tailgates, campus tours, and special dinners.
This year is another opportunity to reconnect with old friends, reminisce about our time at Tech, and create new memories together. We are all interested in what everyone has been doing for the last 40 years, so please take a few minutes to complete a page in our reunion class book. The class book link, is provided above.
To receive timely updates on our class plans, please update your alumnus record by completing the Reunion Questionnaire.
If you have any questions or would like to help with planning your reunion celebrations, please feel free to reach out Stefanie Smith, director of Development for Reunions at stefanie.smith@dev.gatech.edu or 470.219.3401.
I am looking forward to our 40th reunion and hope you will make plans to be in Atlanta for Homecoming and Reunion Weekend on October 23-25, 2025. You will receive more information about our special reunion plans. Stay tuned for more details.
I am excited to celebrate with you all soon!
Warm Regards,
George P. Burdell
