every so often i get a very slick-looking newsletter from the georgia tech architecture department. i was never an architecture student, but i get the newsletter because i was once a member of the symphonic band, and the music department at tech is under the wings of the college of architecture. the amazing thing to me is that i can receive this beautifully done update on the events of the music and architecture programs merely because for one year, i played in the band…while i get absolutely nothing from the aerospace department, or even from the college of engineering. i find the architecture update interesting, and have a feeling i would enjoy an account of the current events in the engineering school even more…but i get no such thing, probably because there is no one to do it, or no one has ever thought of the idea. how unfortunate. maybe i should go back to tech and create an alumni newsletter for the college of engineering.
