Our guest Tom McDermott filled us in on GTRI’s big initiatives and new prominence in the global academic and research environments. We also awarded our four scholarships for the year and appointed new officers. Some photos:

Due to your feedback and falling interest in a planned fall dinner event with non-attractive speakers, we’ve arranged a more casual & family friendly event around our in-state rivalry men’s basketball game. The club has reserved a semi-private room and no RSVPs are required. Simply stop by if you like, stay as long or as little as you like, order food if you like, meet old friends or make new ones, and watch the Jackets go head-to-head with that other Georgia school.
