Imagine Al Trujillo’s surprise when, as a Georgia Tech student, he received a congratulatory letter (and a hefty check) stating he’d been awarded a scholarship — that he didn’t apply for.
“Dr. Ducoffe was head of Aerospace Engineering when I was an undergrad in the late 70s and early 80s,” said Trujillo, who is now president and chief operating officer of The Georgia Tech Foundation. “He was always pushing me to do more, to the point that I wondered if he really liked me.”
