In 1997, a modern tradition was introduced to an Institution already rich in tradition. TEAM Buzz (Tech Enhancing Atlanta Metropolitan) was brought to the Georgia Tech campus as a new initiative in philanthropy. Serving as an Institute-wide community service day, TEAM Buzz brought students, faculty, staff, and alumni together and dispersed them throughout the Atlanta area, participating in everything from tree plantings to soup kitchen operation to providing all volunteers for 5K runs for local charities to playing basketball with physically challenged youth.
Since its inception, TEAM Buzz has grown bigger and better every year, and TEAM Buzz 2008 is no exception! Over twice the number of original volunteer positions will be available, with nearly 2000 volunteers choosing from over 35 projects, catering to many different interests, ideals, and abilities. From staffing food banks to working at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Atlanta to helping the elderly revitalize their homes to teaching the uses of the Internet -- TEAM Buzz 2008 has something for everyone. This venture is poised to become one of the largest events the Georgia Tech community has ever seen, ensuring this as a staple in campus life for years to come -- truly making service the most recent "Tech Tradition."
TEAM Buzz began with a mission to promote a sense of community and philanthropic spirit among the various groups and organizations at Georgia Tech through service to the Atlanta community. Participation has proven to be an important educational experience, as well as an opportunity for personal growth - whether the volunteer is a student, faculty, staff, alumna, or alumnus.
