As someone who grew up in the Southeast, I am no stranger to hurricanes and the havoc they can wreak on parts of the country. With torrential amounts of rain and high speed winds, these massive storms can rip through counties and entire states, leaving destruction and hopelessness in their wake.
As a large public university in the midst of one of the largest cities in America, Tech felt a sense of responsibility in helping those affected by the hurricanes currently tearing through the southeast region, including Irma and Harvey. Although efforts to help the areas affected are still underway, Tech was able to implement helpful initiatives such as handing out free tickets to those displaced by the natural disaster.
