Title: Spring Dinner
Location: 12000 Alumni Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32224 (UNF University Center)
Description: Spring is in the air and plans for our annual Scholarship Dinner are now set. Please plan to join us on Tuesday, May 4th as we award our club’s four $5,000 scholarships, congratulate all of our incoming students, and listen to a campus update from our guest speaker.

Mr. Brian Woodall, Acting Chair of the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs will be presenting “The Global Institute: Georgia Tech International Initiatives”. Created in 1990 and named in honor of former U.S. Senator Sam Nunn in 1996, the School’s programs focus on understanding the global context of advances in science and technology and on preparing students to address pressing concerns at the nexus of science, technology, and international affairs. Did you know that students have the opportunity to participate in School-sponsored summer programs in Europe, Argentina, Brazil, East Asia, and Mexico?

We’ve planned another entertaining program this year and I hope that you’ll reserve time to join us.

Everyone had a great time at Wade and Nancy Barnes’ house for the accepted student recognition dinner. Over 50 people came and both young and old alumni discussed what it’s like at Tech and how much they enjoyed going there. Many of our area’s prospective students got their questions answered and received guidance on what to do once on campus. Some photos:
