President Emeritus and Tech alumnus Wayne Clough celebrated the end of his time as secretary of the Smithsonian Institution last week. During his retirement reception, he was surprised by a group of familiar faces — and voices.
The Georgia Tech Men’s Glee Club had quietly worked with Clough’s staff at the Smithsonian to arrange the visit, which served to bookend the Glee Club’s performance at Clough’s Smithsonian inauguration in 2009.
“The Glee Club loves G. Wayne — everyone loves G. Wayne — so we thought, let’s go make the old man cry,” said Jonathan Johnson, roadie for the Glee Club and a fifth-year applied mathematics major.
