[QUOTE="ATL1, post: 237010, member: 26"] I'm not a GT alum but many of my friends did dual degree at GT. Some are apart of the GT community some are not. From the ones that are I've gathered these ideas. 1. Become a State community resource. Assist on growing STEM programs accross the state and not just in the burbs of Atlanta but in the urban communities and especially rural GA. The education system is lacking in most of GA. Becoming a resource would yield so much long term good will. Athletics can be a bridge for that. 2. Free tickets to area youth leagues and camps. Think long term. 3. There are a lot of diversity on GT's campus that doesn't feel apart of many of the traditions. Draw them in and embrace them. I read a story about how Stanford (boogeyman) convinced a beyond rich donor from the Arab Emirates to donate to the football endowment. He wasn't exactly knowledgeable on the sport but they wooed him up and he gave. That's the kind of out the box thinking that GT can do by embracing its diversity. 4. Embrace the geeks. Go to the different departments ask them how and what they would like to see from the athletic department. No reason why GT athletics couldn't be a test ground for robotics, software, and engineering at a premier engineering school. If there is a Anime group invite them to a game and event at the game introduce them to the players. Same with Dugeons and dragons or War & Warcraft. You wanna fill the stadium stop excluding the geeks. 5. Smoodge the hell out of donors and alum. I mean smoodge. Not just a one and done. But make them feel like each of them are apart of an exclusive fraternity. Give them reason to let the checks flow. To my knowledge GT does not do that. [/QUOTE]
