"We believe it is our time to give something back to Georgia Tech." — Sue Y. and Kenneth R. Entrekin, EE 1973 Most families have traditions. For Sue and Ken Entrekin, EE 1973, their tradition is Georgia Tech. Following in their footsteps are son Cliff Entrekin, MS ECON 2006, daughter Angela Entrekin Medley, BIOL 1996, son-in-law Brian Medley, IE 1995, and grandchildren who are already avid Yellow Jacket fans. In recognition of their passion for and family history with Georgia Tech, the Entrekins have made a seven-figure estate commitment that will provide vital support for the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Co-op program, the Ernest Scheller Jr. College of Business, and intercollegiate athletics at Georgia Tech. "We anticipate that our gift will help Georgia Tech in several ways, but we especially want to benefit ECE," said Ken Entrekin, who identified facilities, scholarships, and faculty support as particular areas of interest. Co-founder and CEO of Advantage Industrial Automation, a premier automation solutions company in the Southeast, Ken Entrekin knows firsthand how valuable a quality technological education and real-world work
experience can be. Entrekin credits Georgia Tech, and more specifically the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Co-op program, for guiding him toward a career path and helping him develop the skills to build a successful company. In addition, the Entrekins value the curriculum offered within the Scheller College of Business. They believe engineering students should have solid grounding in business and finance, which will equip them for the challenges of an ever-changing global marketplace. "Tech students need to be well rounded—to get more than just book knowledge," said Entrekin. The Entrekins' estate gift will therefore also support the intercollegiate athletic program. Football and basketball season ticket holders, Sue and Ken Entrekin are proud of the strength Georgia Tech's student-athletes offer both on and off the playing field. Through their generous philanthropy, they have shown that the Institute is an important part of the Entrekin family legacy.
