Candle Lighters
Candle lighters are members of the Georgia Tech community who have been identified by the family of the deceased as an important person to the honoree during his or her time at Georgia Tech. The candle lighter processes in with the family members and lights a candle in remembrance of the honoree. Upon returning to his or her seat, the candle lighter delivers a gift to the family in appreciation of the honoree's service to the Institute. Candle lighters should arrive at the Bill Moore Student Success Center by 4:15 p.m.
Family Members
Prior to the ceremony, family members of the deceased are encouraged to attend a reception honoring their loved one at 4:30 p.m. in the Bill Moore Student Success Center. Throughout the event, a ROTC cadet and selected candle lighter will accompany each family. All family members who wish to attend should RSVP by Tuesday, March 19.
Ceremony Participants
All ceremony participants, with the exception of the family, candle lighters, and dignitaries, should meet at 4:00 p.m. in the Bill Moore Student Success Center to review their assignments and the protocol for the event.
