Half of Tech Fund Secured by Atlanta Alumni
Atlanta alumni of Georgia Tech drive the Greater Tech fund campaign securing about half the target through two-person committees of young alumni and business leaders. Subscriptions are expected to rise as boards approve donations, with nationwide support from Georgia Tech alumni in San Francisco and the Philippines. The effort aims to extend beyond Atlanta, building toward the full $109,000 pledge and matching machinery donations from northern manufacturers.
