For those who may not be aware, Dr. McKnight passed away suddenly of unknown cause during the Labor Day holiday. 

The McKnight family has requested that gifts in memory of Dr. McKnight be made through the Georgia Tech Foundation.  The funds will be directed to the Phil McKnight Memorial Fund, which will be used to honor his legacy of accomplishments and visionary leadership in the form of a commemorative tree planting on campus and through a scholarship to benefit students who study abroad in his ground-breaking applied language and intercultural studies program.

Check contributions for the memorial should be made payable to the Georgia Tech Foundation and sent to Dr. Juan A. McGruder, Director of Development, Ivan Allen College, Atlanta, GA 30332-0525.
