Make plans to come back to campus Thursday through Saturday, Oct. 27-29 for Homecoming 2005, three days of stimulating seminars, class reunions, a pregame alumni tailgate and the football game against Clemson.

Entrepreneur-turned-race car driver Larry Huang, IM 73, kicks off Thursday's activities at 6 p.m. at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center with an insider's look at the world of professional sports car racing followed by a wine-tasting event at 7 p.m.

Friday's activities feature seminars by Tech alumni and faculty covering such diverse topics as oceanic research, hybrid electric cars, the future of robots and estate tax planning. Seminars will be held throughout the day at the Global Learning Conference Center followed by President Wayne Clough's State of the Institute address at 3:30 p.m.

Friday night the spooktacular Haunted Buzz Bash all-alumni party will be held in the festival area of Bobby Dodd Stadium. Catch up with fellow alumni and friends and celebrate Georgia Tech's newest tradition with good food, drinks, entertainment for all ages and a fireworks extravaganza. Also on Friday, the classes of 1955, 1965 and 1980 will celebrate milestone reunions.

Saturday's activities begin bright and early with the Ramblin' Wreck Parade at 8 a.m. The alumni tailgate party will be held on the Tech Tower lawn two hours before kickoff of the Tech-Clemson football game. The Old Gold Reunion for the Class of 1955 and prior will be held immediately after the game in the Alumni House ballroom. If game time is 5 p.m. or later, the reunion will be held at 9:30 a.m.
