Merging/deleting sub-articles

I noticed that there are several articles in Category:Georgia Tech that fail organization notability guidelines or general guidelines. For example, Under the Couch, Yellow Jacket Flying Club, RoboJackets, DramaTech, Ivan Allen Jr. Prize for Social Courage, and Institute for Personal Robots in Education. I plan to start nominating articles for deletion and would appreciate help in confirming notability and finding where content can be merged. ElToAn123 (talk) 17:11, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Georgia Tech → Georgia Institute of TechnologyGeorgia Institute of Technology – WP:TITLECON: We have Massachusetts Institute of Technology instead of MIT, California Institute of Technology instead of Caltech, and Illinois Institute of Technology instead of Illinois Tech. If we follow the current logic of this article's title, should we move all aforementioned articles to the abbreviation names, given that these schools essentially adhere to the same naming pattern? If a move request were submitted for the aforementioned articles, it is highly likely that the community consensus would keep the use of the full name instead of the shorthand name. I don't see any points regarding the use of an abbreviation solely for the Georgia Institute of Technology here, given all those established precedents. (The last page move request was three years ago, and I believe this topic warrants further discussion.)

Oppose unless/until there's specific guidance on university article titles. Honestly I suspect it would in fact be better by WP:COMMONNAME to use the abbreviated forms in most cases, but I could be wrong there myself. Sesquilinear (talk) 03:03, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

Paid editing request -- introduction

Hi! I'm requesting more edits on behalf of Georgia Institute of Technology.

• What I think should be changed (include citations):The school was founded as the Georgia School of Technology as part of the so-called New South efforts to build an industrial economy in the Southern United States after the Civil War.

• Why it should be changed:Reconstruction officially ended years before Georgia Tech was founded. Also, industrializing the South wasn't the real point of Reconstruction. New South is a more appropriate description of the movement.

• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): New South is re-linked above. Thank you for your consideration!

Paid editing request -- Establishment

Hi! I'm requesting more edits on behalf of Georgia Institute of Technology.

• What I think should be changed (include citations):Because the American South of that era was mainly populated by agricultural workers and technical developments lagged, they proposed to establish a technology school.

• Why it should be changed:Change from active to passive voice

• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): n/a

Not done for now: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. ElToAn123 (talk) 20:39, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

• What I think should be changed (include citations):This land was near Atlanta's northern city limits at the time of its founding, although the city has since expanded well beyond it. (Last paragraph)

• Why it should be changed:Atlanta has significantly grown since its founding and "several miles" doesn't quite describe the extensive growth.

• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): Atlanta Regional Commission (just for background)

  Because the American South of that era was mainly populated by agricultural workers and technical developments lagged, they proposed to establish a technology school.

It's really just tightening the language and also emphasizing that technological advancements were not really happening, without giving a number estimate, which is harder to verify. Mousefan89 (talk) 03:21, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

Paid editing request -- Early Years

• What I think should be changed (include citations): Georgia Tech's Evening School of Commerce began holding classes in 1912. The evening school admitted its first female student in 1917, although the state legislature did not officially authorize attendance by women until 1920. Annie T. Wise became the first female graduate in 1919 and was Georgia Tech's first female faculty member the following year. In 1931, the Board of Regents transferred control of the Evening School of Commerce to the University of Georgia (UGA) and moved the civil and electrical engineering courses at UGA to Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech replaced the commerce school with what later became the Scheller College of Business. The commerce school would later split from UGA and eventually became Georgia State University. In 1934, the Engineering Experiment Station (later known as the Georgia Tech Research Institute) was founded by W. Harry Vaughan with an initial budget of $5,000 (equivalent to $120,336 in 2025) and 13 part-time faculty. In the 1940s, President Blake Van Leer focused on making Georgia Tech the "MIT of the South." He lobbied government and businesses for funds for new facilities. The Research Building was expanded, and a $300,000 (equivalent to $4 million in 2025) Westinghouse A-C network calculator was given to Georgia Tech by Georgia Power in 1947. A new gymnasium, new textile and architecture buildings, and a $2 million library were completed.

• Why it should be changed: Added full name to college of business and to college references for accuracy. In the last four sentences, we're suggesting some minor grammar edits for readability.

• Why it should be changed: Added context

Done ElToAn123 (talk) 20:39, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

• What I think should be changed (include citations): Second paragraph: During President Blake Ragsdale Van Leer's tenure, Georgia Tech expanded its campus with new facilities, added new engineering courses, and became the largest engineering institute in the South and the third largest in the United States. The first Georgia Tech Ph.D. was awarded in 1950 in electrical engineering. Van Leer also admitted the first female students to regular classes in 1952 and began steps toward racial integration. He stood up to Georgia Governor Marvin Griffin's demand to bar Bobby Grier from participating in the 1956 Sugar Bowl game between Georgia Tech and Grier's University of Pittsburgh. After Van Leer's death, his wife, Ella Lillian Wall Van Leer, bought a house on campus and opened it to female students. She also set up the first sorority on campus along with a Society of Women Engineers chapter. In 1968, women could enroll in all programs at Georgia Tech. Industrial Management was the last program to open to women. The first women's dorm, Fulmer Hall, opened in 1969. Rena Faye Smith, appointed as a research assistant in the School of Physics in 1969 by R.A. Young in X-Ray Diffraction, became the first female faculty member (research) in the School of Physics. She went on to earn a Ph.D. at Georgia State University and taught physics and instructional technology at Black Hills State University from 1997 to 2005 as Rena Faye Norby. She served as a Fulbright Scholar in Russia in 2004–2005. By Spring 2009, women constituted 30.3% of the undergraduates and 25.3% of the graduate students.

• Why it should be changed: Clarified context (added Georgia Tech before Ph.D., racial before integration), a couple minor grammatical changes, changed Ray Young's name to his real name instead of his nickname.

• What I think should be changed (include citations): Third paragraph: Ralph A. Long Jr., Lawrence Williams, and Ford C. Greene enrolled at Georgia Tech, becoming the first African American students at Georgia Tech. Ronald Yancey enrolled the next year and in 1965 became the university's first African American graduate. In the 1967–68 academic year, 28 students out of 7,526 were Black. In 1968, William Peace became the first Black instructor, and Marle Carter became the first Black member of the homecoming court. In 1964, Calvin Huey became the first Black player to play at Grant Field when he took the field for Navy. The first Black Georgia Tech football playerer was Eddie McAshan in 1970.

• Why it should be changed: Georgia Tech requests removing the sentence: Georgia Tech became the first university in the Deep South to desegregate without a court order. It took them seven years to comply with the order, and they don't want to be celebrated for that. Also, Calvin Huey was not a doctor yet when he was playing football, so we removed that title.

Partly done: Removed title. Did not remove desegregation statement, as it seems well-sourced. (I am open to further discussion about the sentence.) ElToAn123 (talk) 20:39, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

• What I think should be changed (include citations): Fifth paragraph: In 1988, President John Patrick Crecine oversaw a restructuring of the university. Georgia Tech at that point had three colleges: the College of Engineering, the College of Management, and the College of Sciences and Liberal Arts. Crecine reorganized the latter two into the College of Computing; the College of Sciences; and the Ivan Allen College of Management, Policy, and International Affairs. Crecine never asked for input regarding the changes and, consequently, many faculty members disliked his top-down management style; despite this, the changes passed by a slim margin. Crecine was also instrumental in securing the 1996 Summer Olympics for Atlanta. A large amount of construction occurred, and Georgia Tech served as the Olympic Village, while parts of Midtown Atlanta and other neighborhoods were gentrifying. The Undergraduate Living Center, Fourth Street Apartments, Sixth Street Apartments, Eighth Street Apartments, Hemphill Apartments (now named Crecine Apartments), and Center Street Apartments housed athletes and journalists. The Georgia Tech Aquatic Center was built for swimming events, and the Alexander Memorial Coliseum was renovated. Georgia Tech also built the Kessler Campanile and fountain to serve as a landmark and symbol of the Institute on television broadcasts.

• Why it should be changed: Minor grammar changes plus clarified that Midtown Atlanta was gentrifying anyway and not because of the Olympics.

  The Georgia Institute of Technology is a public institution that receives funds from the State of Georgia, tuition, fees, research grants, and alumni contributions. In 2014, the Institute's revenue amounted to about $1.422 billion. Fifteen percent came from state appropriations and grants while 20% originated from tuition and fees. Grants and contracts accounted for 55% of all revenue. Expenditures were about $1.36 billion. Forty-eight percent went to research and 19% went to instruction.[113] The Georgia Tech Foundation runs the university's endowment and was incorporated in 1932. It includes several wholly owned subsidiaries that own land on campus or in Midtown and lease the land back to the Georgia Board of Regents and other companies and organizations. Assets totaled $1.882 billion and liabilities totaled $0.478 billion in 2014.[114] As of 2007, Georgia Tech had the most generous alumni donor base, percentage wise, of any public university ranked in the top 50.[115] In 2015, the university received a $30 million grant from Atlanta philanthropist Diana Blank[116] to build the "most environmentally-sound building ever constructed in the Southeast."[117]

Here are more suggested edits from Georgia Tech:

Undergraduate admissions

Remove sentence: Of the 35% of enrolled first-year students in 2023 who submitted ACT scores, the middle 50% composite score was between 31 and 35.[118]

USN&WR Undergraduate Engineering Program Rankings

According to the cited source, Georgia Tech is now 2 in Civil. Analytics falls under Accounting on the USNWR list, so you might want to remove that line from the table.

Under Rankings, the rankings mentioned in the text do not match the table. Please update to match:

chemical (2nd), civil (1st), computer (6th), electrical (3rd), environmental (1st), industrial (1st), materials (3rd), and mechanical (4th).[140] Georgia Tech's undergraduate computer science program tied for fifth, as did its graduate computer science program.

  Many startup companies are produced through research conducted at Georgia Tech, with the Advanced Technology Development Center and VentureLab ready to assist Georgia Tech's researchers and entrepreneurs in organization and commercialization. The Georgia Tech Research Corporation serves as Georgia Tech's contract and technology licensing agency. Georgia Tech is ranked fourth for startup companies, eighth in patents, and eleventh in technology transfer by the Milken Institute.[144][152] Georgia Tech and GTRI devote 1,900,000 square feet (180,000 m2) of space to research purposes,[144] including the new $90 million Marcus Nanotechnology Building, one of the largest nanotechnology research facilities in the Southeastern United States with over 30,000 square feet (2,800 m2) of clean room space.[153][154][155] Georgia Tech encourages undergraduates to participate in research alongside graduate students and faculty. The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program awards scholarships each semester to undergraduates who pursue research activities. These scholarships, called the President's Undergraduate Research Awards, take the form of student salaries or help cover travel expenses when students present their work at professional meetings.[156] Additionally, undergraduates may participate in research and write a thesis to earn a "Research Option" credit on their transcripts.[157] An undergraduate research journal, The Tower, was established in 2007 to provide undergraduates with a venue for disseminating their research and a chance to become familiar with the academic publishing process.[158] Recent developments include a proposed graphene antenna.[159][160] Georgia Tech and Emory University have a strong research partnership and jointly administer the Emory-Georgia Tech Predictive Health Institute. They also, along with Peking University, administer the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering.[161][162] In 2015, Georgia Tech and Emory were awarded an $8.3 million grant by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to establish a National Exposure Assessment Laboratory.[163] In July 2015, Georgia Tech, Emory, and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta were awarded a four-year, $1.8 million grant by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in order to expand the Atlanta Cystic Fibrosis Research and Development Program.[164] In 2015, the two universities received a five-year, $2.9 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to create new bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programs and concentrations in healthcare robotics, which will be the first program of its kind in the Southeastern United States.[165] The Georgia Tech Panama Logistics Innovation & Research Center is an initiative between the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, the Ecuador National Secretariat of Science and Technology, and the government of Panama that aims to enhance Panama's logistics capabilities and performance through a number of research and education initiatives.[166] The center is creating models of country level logistics capabilities that will support the decision-making process for future investments and trade opportunities in the growing region[167] and has established dual degree programs in the University of Panama and other Panamanian universities with Georgia Tech.[168] A similar center in Singapore, The Centre for Next Generation Logistics, was established in 2015 and is a collaboration between Georgia Tech and the National University of Singapore. The center will work closely with government agencies and the industry to perform research in logistics and supply chain systems for translation into innovations and commercialization to achieve transformative economic and societal impact.[169]

  Georgia Tech maintains close ties to the industrial world. Many of these connections are made through Georgia Tech's cooperative education and internship programs. Georgia Tech's Division of Professional Practice (DoPP), established in 1912 as the Georgia Institute of Technology Cooperative Division,[170] operates the largest and fourth-oldest cooperative education program in the United States, and is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Cooperative Education.[171][172][173] The Graduate Cooperative Education Program, established in 1983, is the largest such program in the United States.[174] It allows graduate students pursuing master's degrees or doctorates in any field to spend a maximum of two consecutive semesters working full- or part-time with employers. The Work Abroad Program hosts a variety of cooperative education and internship experiences for upperclassmen and graduate students seeking international employment and cross-cultural experiences. While all four programs are voluntary, they consistently attract high numbers of students. Career services removed any immigration-related discrimination from its platform after a Justice Department settlement agreement.[175] Georgia Tech's cooperative education and internship programs have been externally recognized for their strengths. The Undergraduate Cooperative Education was recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top 10 "Programs that Really Work" for five consecutive years.[176] U.S. News & World Report additionally ranked Georgia Tech's internship and cooperative education programs among 14 "Academic Programs to Look For" in 2006 and 2007.[115] On June 4, 2007, the University of Cincinnati inducted Georgia Tech into its Cooperative Education Hall of Honor.[177][178]

  The Institute's administration has implemented programs in an effort to reduce the levels of stress and anxiety felt by Tech students. The Familiarization and Adaptation to the Surroundings and Environs of Tech (FASET) Orientation and Freshman Experience (a freshman-only dorm life program to "encourage friendships and a feeling of social involvement") programs, which seek to help acclimate new students to their surroundings and foster a greater sense of community.[190][191] As a result, the Institute's retention rates improved.[192] In the fall of 2007, the North Avenue Apartments were opened to Tech students. Originally built for the 1996 Olympics and belonging to Georgia State University, the buildings were given to Georgia Tech and have been used to accommodate Tech's expanding population. Georgia Tech freshmen students were the first to inhabit the dormitories in the Winter and Spring 1996 quarters, while much of East Campus was under renovation for the Olympics. The North Avenue Apartments (commonly known as "North Ave") are also noted as the first Georgia Tech buildings to rise above the top of Tech Tower. Open to second-year undergraduate students and above, the buildings are located on East Campus, across North Avenue and near Bobby Dodd Stadium, putting more upperclassmen on East Campus.[66] In 2008, the North Avenue Apartments East and North buildings underwent extensive renovation to the façade. During their construction, the bricks were not all properly secured and thus were a safety hazard to pedestrians and vehicles on the Downtown Connector below.[193] Two programs on campus as well have houses on East Campus: the International House (commonly referred to as the I-House); and Women, Science, and Technology. The I-House is housed in 4th Street East and Hayes. Women, Science, and Technology is housed in Goldin and Stein. The I-House hosts an International Coffee Hour every Monday night that class is in session from 6 to 7 pm, hosting both residents and their guests for discussions.[194] Single graduate students may live in the Graduate Living Center (GLC) or at 10th and Home.[195] 10th and Home is the designated family housing unit of Georgia Tech.[196] Residents are zoned to Atlanta Public Schools.[197] Residents are zoned to Centennial Place Elementary,[198] Inman Middle School,[199] and Midtown High School.[200]

(the campus improv troupe) and DanceTech (an advanced performing dance company). MomoCon is an annual fan convention held annually in March. It started as a free event hosted by Anime O-Tekku, the Georgia Tech anime club.[225] Beginning in 2012, the convention rebranded as a paid event located at the Georgia World Congress Center.[226]

Paid edit request -- Athletics section

• What I think should be changed (include citations):

• −

  Georgia Tech teams are variously known as the Yellow Jackets, the Ramblin' Wreck and the Engineers; but the official nickname is Yellow Jackets. They compete as a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I level (Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) sub-level for football), as the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, primarily competing in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) for all sports since the 1979–80 season (a year after they officially joined the conference before beginning conference play),[243] Coastal Division in any sports split into a divisional format since the 2005–06 season. The Yellow Jackets previously competed as a charter member of the Metro Conference from 1975–76 to 1977–78,[243] as a charter member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) from 1932–33 to 1963–64,[244] as a charter of the Southern Conference (SoCon) from 1921–22 to 1931–32, and as a charter member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) from 1895–96 to 1920–21. They also competed as an Independent from 1964–65 to 1974–75 and on the 1978–79 season. Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, swimming & diving, cheerleading, tennis and track & field; while women's sports include basketball, cross country, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track & field, cheerleading, and volleyball. Their cheerleading squad has, in the past, only competed the National Cheerleaders & Dance Association (NCA & NDA) College Nationals along with Buzz and the Goldrush dance team competing here as well. The Institute mascots are Buzz and the Ramblin' Wreck. The Institute's traditional football rival is the University of Georgia; the rivalry is considered one of the fiercest in college football. The rivalry is commonly referred to as Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate, which is also the title of a book about the subject.[245] There is also a long-standing rivalry with Clemson. Tech has eighteen varsity sports: football, women's and men's basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, golf, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's swimming and diving, men's and women's track and field, men's and women's cross country, and coed cheerleading. Four Georgia Tech football teams were selected as national champions in news polls: 1917, 1928, 1952, and 1990. In May 2007, the women's tennis team won the NCAA National Championship with a 4–2 victory over UCLA, the first ever national title granted by the NCAA to Tech.

The Yellow Jackets previously competed as a charter member of the Metro Conference from 1975–76 to 1977–78,[243] as a charter member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) from 1932–33 to 1963–64,[244] as a charter of the Southern Conference (SoCon) from 1921–22 to 1931–32, and as a charter member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) from 1895–96 to 1920–21. They also competed as an Independent from 1964–65 to 1974–75 and during the 1978–79 season. Their coed cheerleading squad competes in the National Cheerleaders Association College Nationals along with Buzz, the school's mascot. Buzz won first place titles in 2000, 2001, 2023, and 2025. The cheerleaders earned second place in the nation in the 2025 small coed intermediate division of the NCA College Nationals. The Goldrush dance team competes in the Universal Dance Collegiate National Championship. The Institute mascots are Buzz and the Ramblin' Wreck. The Institute's traditional football rival is the University of Georgia. The rivalry is commonly referred to as Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate, which is also the title of a book about the subject.[245] There is also a long-standing rivalry with Clemson. Georgia Tech has 14 varsity sports: men's cross country, women's cross country, football, golf, softball, swimming and diving, men's tennis, women's tennis, men's track and field, women's track and field, and volleyball.

• Why it should be changed: outdated information. Also, the two sports lists were redundant. I recommend deleting the first (or updating it, if preferred) and updating the second list with the current list of 14 sports, per https://ramblinwreck.com/.

Lastly, the rivalry with UGA is traditional but not necessarily fierce, and probably not the fiercest in college football anymore. Georgia State has bigger competitors: https://ugawire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/bulldogs/football/2021/06/15/ranking-georgia-footballs-biggest-rivalry-games/79150597007/

Paid update request -- Modern History section updates

• Specific text to be added or removed: Suggested addition to update the Modern History section: During the COVID-19 pandemic, Georgia Tech researchers developed a saliva-based polymerase chain reaction test and encouraged community members to test weekly. The tests confirmed 62 percent of the university's positive cases for fall semester 2020, and the testing strategy reduced positivity rates from 4.1 percent in the beginning of the semester to below 0.5 percent mid-semester. In 2024, Georgia Tech launched the College of Lifetime Learning to assist with upskilling talent and closing skills gaps, particularly for technology skills. Students can learn from individual courses, certificate programs, FlexStack reimagined boot camp experiences, English as a second language classes, and master‘s degree programs. The college also offers hands-on learning experiences and competitions for students in grades K-12, instructional learning and professional education for teachers, and a dual-enrollment program for high school students.   In 2024, 2025, and 2026, Georgia Tech was named to Forbes’ list of New Ivies.

Paid update request -- Campus sections updates

• Specific text to be added or removed:

−

The Georgia Tech campus is located in Midtown, an area slightly north of downtown Atlanta. Although a number of skyscrapers—most visibly the headquarters of The Coca-Cola Company and Bank of America—are visible from all points on campus, the campus itself has few buildings over four stories and has a great deal of greenery. This gives it a distinctly suburban atmosphere quite different from other Atlanta campuses, such as that of Georgia State University.bettersourceneeded The campus is served by two stations on the MARTA rail system, Midtown and North Avenue.

+

The Georgia Tech campus is located in Midtown, an area slightly north of downtown Atlanta. The campus offers a mix of tall buildings and greenery. More than 15,000 trees cover nearly 30 percent of the campus. The university has been tree campus-certified since 2008 and a Certified Arbnet Level II Arboretum since 2016. The campus is served by two stations on the MARTA rail system, Midtown and North Avenue.

• Reason for the change: Previous description was outdated. Now there are many more skyscrapers just as visible as Coke and Bank of America Plaza. And there are a whole lot of buildings on campus (including but not limited to Tech Square) that have more than four floors. Also, many nearby universities have greenery. If anything Georgia Tech feels most urban of the local ones, so it's not a fair comparison to say that Georgia Tech feels more suburban than others.

The university is launching a new Bachelor of Science in Arts, Entertainment, and Creative Technologies program under its College of Design for Fall 2026 to prepare students for careers in film, gaming, immersive media, and music.

paid editing request -- Traditions

In the paragraph referencing the Swarm, please consider removing the reference to the Swarm size. It varies from year to year, and this guesstimate is not confirmable.

Instead consider:

"The Swarm is a spirit group ..."

Also, some of the Georgia Tech/UGA information is inaccurate. The rivalry started in 1893, not 1891.

Please consider: Georgia Tech students hold a heated, long and ongoing rivalry with the University of Georgia, known as Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate, dating back to their first football game in 1893.

Paid editing request -- More rankings updates

Hello,

I noticed the U.S. News and World Report rankings are outdated. The text lists a 2021 date, but the reference takes you to 2026 rankings. A volunteer editor converted a previous table of rankings to text, so the 2021 paragraph might be redundant now. You might want to consider deleting the paragraph.

Under the Couch no longer exists, so the references need some updating: Under West Campus, consider deleting this sentence: West Campus was formerly home to Under the Couch, which relocated to the John Lewis Student Center in the fall of 2010.

Or, updating it to: West Campus was formerly home to Under the Couch, which relocated to the John Lewis Student Center in the fall of 2010 and ultimately closed in 2020. (Source: Under the Couch Wikipedia page)

Also, in the fourth paragraph under Arts, consider changing the text to: Musician's Network, another student-led group, formerly operated Under the Couch, a live music venue and recording facility that was initially located beneath the Couch Building on West Campus, was relocated to the Student Center, and then closed in 2020.
