Stay Connected
Get ready, Yellow Jackets — Homecoming & Reunion Weekend is coming up on October 23–25, 2025, and it's going to be unforgettable!
Stay updated on news and events, share memories, and connect with old friends by creating a page in your BrightCrowd reunion class book and following the Georgia Tech Alumni Association on social media. Find ways to get involved and alumni event information at gtalumni.org, and let us know which Georgia Tech programs and events you're most excited about by filling out the questionnaire. We are planning a weekend around you.
But the best way to connect is in person — that’s why we hope to see you at Homecoming & Reunion Weekend. Join us for reunion parties with your classmates, campus tours, the Reunions Past and Present Palooza Tailgate, the Helluva Block Party on North Avenue, the Georgia Tech vs. Syracuse game, and more.
Let's reminisce about our time on campus and make new memories as we see how much Georgia Tech has grown since we were students.
Let's Create A Class of 1975 Legacy Together
Hey Class of 1975, we're counting on you! Each class has an opportunity to create a footprint that advances the mission of Georgia Tech and support Transforming Tomorrow: The Campaign for Georgia Tech. This reunion gives us an opportunity to work together to create innovative solutions for decades to come.
Together, we can help build a foundation to support our students, advance our research and innovation, enhance our campus and our community, and expand our impact at home and around the world.
This is our year. This is our Tech. As a class, we can support students who will transform tomorrow. Have you made your gift or pledge?

Progress Toward Our Goals
This year, Georgia Tech received a record-breaking 59,802 applications for our first-year class, with an acceptance rate of just 16%.
This speaks volumes about the value of a Georgia Tech degree, and it also means we’re competing with the top-ranked and wealthiest universities in the nation. Many of our peer institutions meet 100% of students’ demonstrated financial need. At Tech, we currently meet only 40%.
That gap means we’re losing exceptional, talented students because they lack the resources they need to attend Georgia Tech.
To truly live up to our mission as a leading public institution, we must ensure that a Georgia Tech education is accessible to all, regardless of financial background. That’s why, in honor of our milestone reunion, the Class of 1975 is establishing a scholarship endowment for students with low and limited income. This scholarship will help bridge the financial gap for gifted students and carry forward our legacy of support for generations to come.
By contributing to the Class of 1975 Need-Based Scholarship Endowment, you are giving back and investing in the future of Georgia Tech. Our goal is to raise $100,000 to endow this scholarship. Join us in making a difference. Make your gift or multi-year commitment today.
We have also set an overall goal for our class to raise $7.5 million during our reunion accounting period. Gifts of any size to Athletics or any College, School, or program will help us reach our fundraising goal.
Class of 1975 Total Reunion Giving: raised $7.34M | $7.5M goal
Class of 1975 Need-Based Scholarship: $87,300 raised | $100,000 goal
Hey, Class of 1975 Yellow Jackets,
Can you believe it’s been 50 years? It’s time to celebrate! Join us October 23–25, 2025, for Homecoming & Reunion Weekend, and let’s make this golden anniversary unforgettable.
