GEORGIA TECH ATHLETICS COMMUNICATIONS AND PUBLIC RELATIONS

The Georgia Tech Athletics Communications and Public Relations Office acts as the chief liaison between the Yellow Jackets’ athletic programs, the media and the public. Primarily, the staff is responsible for serving the needs of the media, coaches, student-athletes, supporters and fans.

The Communications and Public Relations office devotes countless hours to facilitating interview requests between local, regional and national media outlets and Yellow Jacket coaches and student-athletes. At the same time, the staff works closely with these student-athletes and coaches to help promote and assist in the coverage of Georgia Tech Athletics. The Communications and Public Relations Office provides media members with biographical information on coaches and student-athletes, historical and statistical information and photographs, while also generating content for our official website, social media channels and other digital platforms, printed game programs and media guides.

The main purpose of this page is to assist the media in coverage of Georgia Tech Athletics. If the desired information is not available on this page or the sport’s home page, please contact the Communications and Public Relations office at (404) 894-5445.
