Kick off Georgia Tech’s Homecoming weekend with a sunset tour that explores the history of a humble trade school that became a nationally-ranked institute, a transformation that forever changed Atlanta and the South. Names like Henry Grady, Sam Inman, and Ivan Allen echo how the story of Atlanta has been intertwined and reflected in the history of Georgia Tech. Along the way, hear a little about the first glory days of Tech football, the RAT cap tradition and Margaret Mitchell’s match-making advice for Tech students.
