Retired Colonel Ken Grundborg was unable to attend two graduation ceremonies at Georgia Tech due to active military service. Today, he walked across the stage at 88-years old.
Grundborg earned his bachelor’s degree in 1960 and his master’s in 1966 — both in civil engineering. He missed his ceremony when the @usarmy called him to serve his country. He spent 20 years with the Army Corps of Engineers, also serving in the 82nd Airborne Division, the Rangers, and the Pathfinders.
He earned a Bronze Star Medal, Legion of Merit, and Ranger Tab. Congratulations Ken! We’re glad you finally made it! 💛🎓🐝 🇺🇸 #GT26 #RamblinOn
Nearly four hours and 240 miles each way is a regular commute for Chordaryus Billingsley, Executive MBA 2026. The senior security administrator at Integration Innovation Inc. travels from Madison, Alabama, to Atlanta on weekends for classes at Georgia Tech’s Scheller College of Business.
The knowledge and connections he’s gained are already making a difference in his career, helping him take on greater responsibilities and earn a recent promotion. 🐝 | https://t.co/OK1k3u9xup
Even presidents have bucket lists. Before leaving at the end of this week, President Cabrera joined a select group of Yellow Jackets who have ventured to the top of Tech Tower and left their signature. ✍️🪣📝 #BucketList#WeCanDoThat 🐝
