Let's Create A Class of 1976 Legacy Together

Hey Class of 1976, 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. Just as those who came before us invested in Georgia Tech's future, we now have the chance to do the same for the next generation of Yellow Jackets.

The Class of 1976 Reunion Committee has chosen to establish the Class of 1976 Need-Based Scholarship Endowment, a lasting way to help talented students attend Georgia Tech, regardless of their financial circumstances. Georgia Tech is attracting more exceptional students than ever before, but many face significant financial barriers. Scholarships for students with low and limited income can make the difference between a student choosing Georgia Tech or going elsewhere.

Many of us can look back and recognize how a Georgia Tech education shaped our lives and careers. By making a gift or multi-year commitment, you'll pay that forward and help ensure that deserving students have access to the education, experiences, and opportunities that make Georgia Tech so special. Every contribution brings us closer to our goal and strengthens the legacy of the Class of 1976.

This is our year. This is our Tech. Have you made your gift?

Progress Toward Our Goal: $51K raised | $100K goal

51%

Please note that due to processing time, it could take up to two weeks for gifts to be reflected in the barometer totals.

Dear Friends:

As we approach a remarkable milestone — our 50th reunion — we invite you to join us in celebrating the journey we began together on campus. On October 22–24, 2026, we’ll return to campus during Homecoming & Reunion Weekend to reflect and reconnect with friendships that shaped us. Check in today by joining the Class of 1976 50th Reunion LinkedIn Group.

As part of our reunion, we have the chance to create a legacy that will last for generations. To honor our 50th reunion, we’re asking for your support to create the Class of 1976 Scholarship Endowment Fund. We are aiming to raise $100,000 to endow a scholarship that will help future Yellow Jackets whose dreams and ambitions echo our own from decades past.

We appreciate gifts or pledges of any size as they bring us closer to reaching our goals. All gifts will also be included in Transforming Tomorrow: The Campaign for Georgia Tech, the Institute’s comprehensive campaign.

We hope you plan to join us on campus for Homecoming & Reunion Weekend, and don’t forget to book your room at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center soon because they will fill up quickly. The weekend will be packed with special events like our reunion class dinner on October 22, campus tours, parades, tailgates and, of course, cheering on the Jackets at The Flats.

Let’s come together to celebrate this golden anniversary with the same spirit, pride, and camaraderie that carried us through Tech all those years ago.


Go Jackets!
