History of the Georgia Tech Student Foundation

 J. Erskine Love Jr., ME 49, came to Tech at the age of 16 from South Carolina. While at Tech he immersed himself into campus life by pledging Delta Tau Delta, serving as President of the Ramblin’ Reck Club, a member of ANAK and ODK, and as editor of the Blueprint and Technique. He started the company Printpack at age 27 with one machine, which grew to one of the largest packing converters in the world. As an active alumnus, Love served as a trustee and president of the Georgia Tech Foundation and a trustee of the Alumni Association. He spearheaded Tech's historic $100 million Centennial Campaign, alongside Georgia Tech President Joseph M. Pettit. 

In 1986, J. Erskine Love Jr., established an endowment through Georgia Tech with a generous grant of $100,000. The funds were unrestricted as long as the money was managed exclusively by students and the Georgia Tech Student Foundation was originated. The endowment has grown to approximately $2 million, as the investments committee continues to outperform the S&P500 by 6%.
