Retired Colonel Ken Grundborg was unable to attend two graduation ceremonies at Georgia Tech due to active military service. Today, he walked across the stage at 88-years old. Grundborg earned his bachelor’s degree in 1960 and his master’s in 1966 — both in civil engineering. He missed his ceremony when the @usarmy called him to serve his country. He spent 20 years with the Army Corps of Engineers, also serving in the 82nd Airborne Division, the Rangers, and the Pathfinders. He earned a Bronze Star Medal, Legion of Merit, and Ranger Tab. Congratulations Ken! We’re glad you finally made it! 💛🎓🐝 🇺🇸 #GT26 #RamblinOn

65 years ago yesterday, Ralph Long Jr. was one of the first Black students to enroll at Georgia Tech. Today, his grandson, Ralph Long IV, is continuing a family legacy on the same campus his grandfather helped integrate. Ralph Long Jr., along with Ford Greene and Lawrence Williams, became the first Black men admitted to Georgia Tech in 1961. These men, known as the Three Pioneers, have their legacy honored on campus with statues commemorating the barriers they broke. Long Jr. went on to become the first Black systems engineer in the Southeast at IBM Atlanta. Today, Long IV is a graduate of Benjamin E. Mays High School, where he graduated with high honors, ranked in the top 10% of his class, and earned the highest SAT score in his graduating class. He is pursuing a degree in computer engineering. 🐝 #WeCanDoThat
