The Parents Board
is comprised of approximately 47 engaged current parent couples who serve as a resource to the Dean of Students in representing the views, needs and opinions of current Georgia Tech parents.
In addition to their role as ambassadors for Georgia Tech, they provide valuable leadership level financial support to the Parents Fund and other areas of interest across the Institute.
Members commit their time, talent, and treasure to address a wide variety of issues and needs not covered by tuition, fees, or state tax dollars.
Board members in good standing are asked to serve throughout their child’s time at Georgia Tech. The Board meets twice a year on campus to learn more about current needs and issues that impact students and the Institute.
Mike and Carrie Zamora, Parents Board Co-Chairs
We were drawn to the Parent Board due to its focus on supporting specific student opportunities. As parents, we have always taught our children the importance of a good education and giving back to your community. We love how the Parents Fund helps support GT students making a difference in the institute, community and beyond. As proud Georgia Tech parents, we have contributed to the Parents Fund for the last six years, since our eldest's first day on campus. We especially appreciate watching the talented student groups benefit from these dollars with creative ideas and new initiatives. We are honored to be part of the Parents Group that contributes to the emotional and social well-being of our children. God Bless the Georgia Tech Family!
We have very much enjoyed the biannual board meetings where, in addition to helping allot funds, we get to know many other parents and hear their experiences and advice. Since we live in Texas, being on this board has helped us feel more connected with the campus.
The meetings typically involve a full day of programming with presentations on specific campus programs and tours of new facilities. It has been great to have so much direct contact with Dean Stein, providing us a better understanding of the inner workings of Tech, particularly as they pertain to the students.
