When is Tech Beautification Day?
This year’s event will be on the morning of Saturday April 5, 2008.

How can I get involved?
There are currently two ways to get involved with this year’s TBD. The first is to become a Project Coordinator (PC), in which you will lead a group of 5-30 volunteers in a project for Tech Beautification Day. If you are interested in becoming a PC, applications will be availale soon. Click here to learn more about becoming a PC.

The other opportunity for involvement is to sign up to be a volunteer for the day. You will be working from 9am-12pm on a landscaping-related project on or around our campus. We will be offering group and individual sign up for projects this year, probably sometime in March, so check back soon for the official registration dates to be announced.

What kinds of projects will be offered for TBD 2008?
For the last eleven years, we have worked with the Georgia Tech Landscaping Facilities to organize landscaping-related projects across our campus. These will include planting flowers, shrubs, and other small plants, as well as laying sod, mulch, and pine straw in areas that may otherwise not be reached by Facilities. We are also organizing projects to benefit the Recycling Department.

We will also be extending our service to nearby communities in need of renovation. Last year, these plans included cleaning up abandoned lots, installing a bike trail, and refurbishing basketball courts and playgrounds for children.

We are also going to be holding a "Stop the Ugly" Photo Contest during February to get project ideas from students. We will post more information about the contest soon!
