Since its inception in 1885, Tech has accumulated an extremely impressive list of alumni. The collection is rife with CEOs, military commanders and Nobel Prize winners. Two Yellow Jackets have even been elected president of their respective countries, Juan Carlos Varela of Panama and Jimmy Carter of the U.S. Considering these great minds that came before us, it is no wonder that Tech has garnered a reputation as one of the top technical institutions in the nation, and even the world.
That being said, I believe that there is also an argument to be made about Tech’s contributions to the world of sports.
