Good Afternoon,

Very few of the experts gave us much of a chance, but Coach Hewitt and
his team have made it to the national championship game against the
UConn Huskies. It's been a very exciting tournament thus far and the
site of thousands of Yellow Jacket fans celebrating Saturday in the
Alamo Dome made this President very proud. Fans in both San Antonio,
Atlanta, and around the world, conducted themselves in accordance with
Georgia Tech standards and I'm as proud of all of you as I am of this
team. Thanks to our student leadership and the entire Georgia Tech
community for your conduct on Saturday.

I hope that you will take advantage of Monday's game-watching event
tonight at the Alexander Memorial Coliseum. The Coliseum will be open
at 8:00 p.m. to anyone with a Georgia Tech ID. Concession stands will
be open and tip off for the NCAA Championship game is at 9:07 p.m.
Wear your white and gold and show your spirit.

Immediately following the game, we will host a block party at 8th
Street and Fowler Street. Music, food, beverages, giveaways including
signed paraphernalia, and fun will be on the agenda! A Georgia Tech ID
is required for all events on campus Monday night. Be prepared to show
an ID if you leave and re-enter campus.

In order to prepare for tonight's NCAA Championship game viewing at the
Coliseum and the block party immediately following, the campus will be
closed at 7:00 p.m. tonight, April 5, 2004. All cars must be removed
from Fowler Street, between 8th and 10th Streets prior to 7:00 p.m. to
accommodate the evening's festivities.

On Tuesday, we will host a celebration at the Coliseum to honor the
team's return from their national championship game. We expect the
team to return to Atlanta sometime late Tuesday afternoon and the
celebration will start Tuesday evening at 5:30. The doors to the
Coliseum will open at 4:00 and Monday's championship game will be
replayed in its entirety on the big screens without commercial
interruption, as a warm-up to the event. Monday's celebration will
feature Wes Durham as MC and the entire men's basketball team, the Pep
Band and our cheerleaders. Georgia Tech's official sports radio
station -- 790 the Zone -- will be broadcasting live. The entire
community is welcome for this event and no I.D. will be necessary for
admission.

This has been a wonderful ride with a team for the ages. I know that
you will continue to show you support for the team through your
enthusiasm for their accomplishments and your responsible conduct
surrounding all of the excitement.

Enjoy the moment and I'll see you all on Tuesday. Go Jackets!


Wayne Clough,
President
