We’re very grateful to the donor who provided the generous matching gift that will allow us to quickly raise the final $20 million needed to move forward with the new Edge Center. We’re in the home stretch of AI 2020, which will be transformative for Georgia Tech athletics. The new Edge Center, in particular, will allow us to achieve our goals of bringing in the best recruits to thrive at Georgia Tech, developing them into even better student-athletes once they arrive here and, ultimately, winning championships at the highest level of intercollegiate athletics, while also developing young people who will change the world. We thank you for your generous support and encourage you to please consider participating in the Edge Center matching challenge to help put us over the top and allow construction to begin as soon as possible. We talk about athletics being the front porch of a university and this building is our front porch. The goals of Athletics Initiative 2020 are simple – to ensure that we can recruit the special type of student-athlete that can excel both athletically and academically at Georgia Tech, provide the tool and techn logy needed to build a tte studen -a let onc they’r here and to reach our expectations of winning at the highest le l of intercollegi t athletics. Excellence and innovation are in our DNA. At letics Initiative 2020 will help us stay true to those standards for years to come.” - M. Todd Stansbury, IM 1984 Director of Athletics “ - M.
