THE GEORGIA TECH ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION FORMS THE FRONT PORCH OF THE GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (THE INSTITUTE) AND SERVES AS A GATHERING PLACE FOR STUDENTS, ALUMNI, FANS AND FRIENDS. WE PROVIDE OUR STUDENT-ATHLETES WITH THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ACADEMIC AND ATHLETIC SUCCESS AND PERSONAL GROWTH. WE PROMOTE DIVERSITY AND EQUITY. THE INTEGRITY OF OUR MISSION IS ENHANCED BY OUR COMMITMENT TO ADHERENCE TO THE RULES OF THE INSTITUTE, THE ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE AND THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. THIS ENVIRONMENT WE CREATE ALLOWS OUR STUDENT-ATHLETES TO COMPETE AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS, AND CREATES ENJOYMENT FOR OUR SUPPORTERS. WE EMBRACE OUR PROUD TRADITIONS AND STRIVE TO ENHANCE THE FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENT-ATHLETES, COACHES, AND STAFF.
