What began in 2022 as a multi-city visit has evolved into an annual celebration of Tech pride, spanning more than 2,700 miles and 24 cities across three states in just four years. From Athens to Valdosta to Savannah to Tennessee and Florida, the tour’s continued growth underscores Georgia Tech’s increasing reach and President Cabrera’s commitment to connecting with Yellow Jackets beyond campus. As the tour marks its fifth year, it stands as a testament to the Institute’s growing impact.

As of 2025, Brandon Cox, Mgt 03, has traveled through 185 airports and spent 2,909 hours, or 121 days, in flight. Cox’s venture began when he traveled to Glasgow, Scotland as a student at Tech.
