Last night was a great event.  Many thanks to the Sorrow’s for hosting, Miller Templeton for imparting wisdom, all the people that helped setup and tear down and most of all the incoming Freshmen and their families.  This is going to be a great academic school year and we look forward to being a helpful resource for everyone.

As Miller so eloquently put, doing well at Georgia Tech isn’t a mysterious algorithm. Those that exert the self control and discipline required to properly plan their success will succeed. You make a decision to “ignore at your own peril.” Get involved in a healthy community that supports you doing well and you’re on your way.

Go Jackets!
