Dinner Jackets

Dinner Jackets provides SAA members with the opportunity to network with Tech alumni and faculty/staff to learn about life after college, and interact with fellow students outside the classroom and off campus. Volunteers host dinners for SAA members with the purpose of sharing good food, good conversation, and Yellow Jacket camaraderie. The format of the events can range from a home cooked meal at the host's home to a dinner at a restaurant. Sign up for a Dinner Jackets event today! (SAA members are limited to one dinner per semester, but if you want to be added to the waitlist for another dinner, email dinnerjackets@gtsaa.com).
