In September we hosted our fall Parents Advisory Board meeting and the Board Members were also given the opportunity to participate in this service project hosted by Director of Leadership and Civic Engagement Gerome Stephens and Civic Engagement Coordinator Sarah Perkins.  After hearing a presentation on Small Act Big Impact and the incredible amount of support the students showed to the cause, the board members helped assemble kits to be donated to the Atlanta Mission.  Additionally, they crafted personal notes of encouragement and drew pictures of Yellow Jacket pride to show just how much Tech supports these women and children as they begin to establish self-sufficiency.  If you would like more information on the Parents Fund or would like to invest in student activities on campus please contact us today.
