Ivan Allen College Celebrates at Homecoming 2019

Fall weather arrived just in time for Homecoming on Saturday, November 2, as Ivan Allen College faculty, alumni, and students gathered on the porch of Old C.E. to celebrate and watch the parade. Interim Dean Tone (above) and School Chairs were onhand to welcome alumni amid food, drinks, and smiling faces. 

In the bottom photo in the front seat of the Ramblin' Wreck is our very own friend of the College, Col. Stephen C. Hall (USAF ret., IM 1967). Ángel Cabrera has the rumble seat for his first Homecoming as president of Georgia Tech. Col. Hall and his wife Pamela are strong supporters of Ivan Allen communications programs, student scholarships, the Hall Building, and the Ivan Allen Jr Legacy Awards. Our photo album includes Col. Hall leading the Glee Club in a rousing performance for alumni during our Mimosa Brunch. Go Jackets!
