The 10- and 15-Year Reception is an event hosted by Georgia Tech Human Resources to honor and celebrate faculty and staff who have reached 10- and 15-year service milestones during the past fiscal year.

The reception will feature a buffet of hors d’oeuvres and desserts, opportunities for socializing and networking with other honorees, student performers, photo opportunities with Buzz and the Ramblin’ Wreck, and remarks from executive leaders.

All full-time faculty and staff who have reached 10 or 15 years of consecutive, benefits-eligible service to Georgia Tech within this fiscal year (July 2024– June 2025) are invited to attend and bring one guest. Institute executive leaders are also invited to attend.

Georgia Tech values the contributions of retirees and seeks to honor their dedication to the Institute. Retirees are eligible to attend the reception, just like active employees, if they reached their milestone of consecutive benefits-eligible service this fiscal year, while still an active employee. The event invite will be sent to your Georgia Tech email address if you qualify.

Yes, you are welcome to bring one guest. We recommend bringing a colleague or supervisor. Please indicate on your RSVP form if you plan to bring someone with you. If you did not indicate that you would bring a guest on the day of the event, a guest will not be permitted, as we may not have additional space and food for them.

While we encourage all milestone recipients to attend, we understand that scheduling conflicts may arise.
