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.

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

Dear Friends:


It’s our 50th reunion year and we want to make this milestone the best one ever! This is our final milestone reunion year, and it is a great opportunity to come together as a class to rekindle old friendships and inspire members of our class to step forward in support of Georgia Tech. While I know many things have changed since we graduated and even since our last class reunion, I hope your love for Tech remains the same.

I invite you to come back to Georgia Tech for our 50th reunion during Homecoming & Reunion Weekend on October 22-24, 2026. Weekend festivities will include campus tours, seminars, our class reunion party, the pregame tailgate, the Ramblin’ Reck Parade, and various other traditions. This year, the homecoming game will be the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs. the Boston College Eagles. You do not want to miss this. Event registration will open in August. Stay tuned for more information.
Reunions are a longstanding tradition at the Institute. This tradition includes both coming home to Georgia Tech to visit with classmates and friends as well as making a reunion gift to our alma mater. Our reunion committee will set a Class of 1976 50th reunion fundraising goal and I invite you to join our class in making a gift of any level to Georgia Tech in honor of this milestone reunion.  
Fall will be here before you know it. I hope you will make plans to attend our class reunion party on Thursday, October 22, during Homecoming & Reunion Weekend to toast each other and celebrate the 50 years that have passed since we “got out.” It will be a weekend to remember!  

Check back here for updates, and Go Jackets!

 

Sincerely, 

George P. Burdell 

Honorary Member, Class of 1976
