Still Adventuring Together After 50 Years
By: Alumni Publications
Yellow Jackets came together to celebrate more than 50 years of the Outdoor Recreation at Georgia Tech (ORGT) program on campus.
Multiple generations of ORGT alumni, including the organization’s founder Dean Miller Templeton, Phys 61, MS NS 63 (pictured centered left), attended the 50th anniversary celebration that took place this October. ORGT is a student program through Campus Recreation Services that’s dedicated to outdoor adventures. Past trips have included rock climbing, caving, backpacking, and whitewater rafting. Alumni who were part of the program while at Tech returned to campus from Alabama, Florida, Vermont, and Oregon for a weekend of activities, which included “decades” gathering for alumni from the 1970s to the present, and a dinner with current ORGT students and staff.
