We Want to Hear Your Stories!
Georgia Tech has partnered with PCI Publishing Concepts to produce a first-of-its-kind collection of fan stories that will leave a legacy for you and your fellow alumni, entitled Stories From The Flats.
This book will feature first-hand stories, as told by the letterwinners, season ticket holders and donors of your favorite memories, traditions and experiences encompassing Georgia Tech Athletics. These stories will then be compiled into a book available for purchase.
You will soon be contacted via email by PCI Publishing Concepts to participate in this exciting project! PCI will verify your data, and record your personal story over the phone by transcription. Follow the instructions in the email to submit up to two photos and tell your story.
