The Georgia Tech Alumni Association “Roll Call”

The Roll Call funds scholarships, development, faculty, equipment, programs, and services at Georgia Tech. Your Roll Call contributions earn Alexander-Tharpe points for athletic ticket priority and they help increases the value of your degree. Roll Call contributions help get Georgia Tech into the Top 10 list by U.S. News & World Report. The ranking is based in part on “alumni satisfaction” measured by the percent of alumni who give back to the school.

North Metro is in the “Griffin” league (>900 alumni in area) for Roll Call purposes. Clubs compete against other clubs in their league to attempt to have the “largest percent” of Roll Call contributors based on the number of Georgia Tech alumni in their defined area. The first and second place networks in each league receive money for their network to use in awarding local students scholarships to Georgia Tech. It is important that all alumni in the North Metro area contribute something, so that the Network can be recognized and receive a cash reward. Giving just $10 makes you a contributor, and you will count toward the percent of North Metro alumni giving to the Alumni Association Roll Call.

Each year the North Metro Club participates in a Roll Call Phon-a-thon in an effort to improve the North Metro percentage of alumni giving to the Roll Call. The Phon-a-thon is scheduled as part of a regular North Metro Club Board Meeting. Volunteers from our network will be calling you to ask for your donation. The amount you give is very important, but the fact that you give anything is enough to help the club attain the percentage to win the league competition. Please think about contributing to the Roll Call each year. This is important to the financial well being of Georgia Tech, and it is important to the North Metro Georgia Tech Club. If you would like to make a contribution, just make your check to the Georgia Tech Foundation and send it to Roll Call, 190 North Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30313. You can also give online at Georgia Tech Alumni Association.

Remember the deadline each year is June 30th! Roll Call years run July 1st through June 30th. Please do not forget your company’s matching gift form, if this applies to you, and make your donation early to be eligible for benefits such as an invitation to the President’s Dinner ($1,000 donations in one year).
