May 25, 2022 — Atlanta, GA
This weekend, to remember those who lost their lives in service, events in the Tech community and around Atlanta have been planned for the Memorial Day holiday.
On Thursday, May 26, the Veterans Resource Center will host an open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Veterans Resource Center, located in the Biotech Quad. There will be displays and information about Tech’s military history.
An alumni recognition ceremony will take place later that day from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Alumni House.
