Advocacy is an easy and effective way to be involved with major decisions taking place on campus. There are several things you can do to advocate for Georgia Tech:

1. Get to know your legislators

  • Arrange personal visits and send handwritten letters to build a relationship with your state elected officials. These are high-impact ways to connect and show your support of Georgia Tech.
  • To get a list of the representatives for your district, enter your address or zip code on the Project Vote Smart website.
  • Be sure to follow your legislators’ newsletters and social media posts that aim to keep constituents informed of key issues in their communities.  

2. Connect with other alumni in your community

  • Engage with your local alumni network, and open the door to more opportunities to advocate for Tech.
