  • 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.
