  • Georgia Tech Education Extends Beyond Classroom
    ACADEMICS 259 Tech Academics . Broadening Horizon 260 / Academics Academics / 261 Georgia Tech Education Extends Beyond Classroom To Georgia Tech Students: One of the great things about the 1988 Blueprint, or any yearbook, is that it chron- icles more or less the entire range of activities that make up the life of a stu- dent. Three very important things about Georgia Tech are apparent in browsing through the Blueprint — things that we often lose sight of in our day-to-day ex- istence. First, Georgia Tech is not only difficult and demanding, but Georgia Tech is fun! "Work hard, play hard" is the dominant philosophy here, and the play is as important as the work. Second, a great deal of education at Georgia Tech never makes it on the transcript, never sees the inside of a classroom, and never satisfies a degree requirement. It takes place in the context of student organizations and activities, in fraternities, sororities, and dormitories, on the athletic field or in just kicking ideas around over coffee or some other beverage. Third, Georgia Tech is made up of some pretty decent people — people you will be happy to count as friends for the rest of your lives. It is this broader perspective on what constitutes the real Georgia Tech experience that the Blueprint helps provide. The experiences chronicled in the 1988 Blueprint comprise the foundations upon which success in the later life is built. Take advantage of what Georgia Tech provides — in non-academic as well as academic areas. You will join the ranks of thousands of distinguished Georgia Tech alumni sooner than you think.

  • 1 Remarks by Georgia Tech President G. Wayne Clough
    REMARKS BY GEORGIA TECH PRESIDENT G. WAYNE CLOUGH Dr. John P. Crecine Memorial Service, May 20, 2008 I’d like to welcome all of you to this memorial service to remember and honor Dr. John Patrick Crecine as a person and as president of the Georgia Institute of Technology from 1987 until 1994. We would especially like to welcome Dr. Crecine’s son John and daughter Kate to campus and to extend our condolences to each of you. Dr. Crecine earned his doctorate in industrial management from Carnegie Mellon. His career included service on the faculty of the University of Michigan, where he was the founding director of the Institute of Public Policy Studies, and Carnegie Mellon, where he was dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, then vice president for academic affairs. He also worked at the Rand Corporation, and later in life was instrumental in a number of start-up companies in information technology and e-commerce. John Patrick Crecine came to Georgia Tech as its ninth president in the fall of 1987 and served in that capacity until 1994. And today we especially recall and honor his contributions to Atlanta and Georgia Tech during those years. There are a number of things that could be said about his service to Georgia Tech, but we have chosen to focus on four areas in which decisions made during his tenure took on longer-term significance. Dr. Crecine seemed to have been gifted with a high degree of foresight, because in each of these cases, his decisions planted seeds that blossomed and came to fruition in the years following his presidency.
