An Open Letter to Campus from Tech's Athletics Director

Dear Georgia Tech faculty and staff,

In my six months as Director of Athletics, I’ve been very impressed with the people at Georgia Tech who make the Institute such a special place. I’ve enjoyed meeting many students, faculty and staff, and I appreciate the way athletics is embraced by the Institute community. It’s truly an honor to be among so many talented, passionate people.

Seven times every fall, our campus is transformed on game days, bringing thousands of fans to the Flats and providing an opportunity to tell the story of this unique institution. Our desire and ability to excel both academically and athletically are distinctive characteristics of Georgia Tech that place us among the nation’s elite universities.

I recognize that weeknight games can be a somewhat disruptive experience to our normal workday and we appreciate your understanding so that we may take advantage of this opportunity to showcase Georgia Tech to a national audience.

If you haven’t yet made plans to be there, I’d like to personally invite you to our game Thursday night. Our football team is 3-0 and we’ll be facing perennial power Virginia Tech. We’ll also be celebrating the 100th anniversary of Grant Field and our guests will include over 35 Georgia Tech All-Americans who we’ll recognize at halftime, along with a fireworks show. It will be a special night for the Georgia Tech community, and we hope you can be a part of it. Tickets are still available at our ticket office near the corner of Bobby Dodd Way and Techwood.

Go Jackets!

Mike Bobinski
