Student Life

Prometheus Club

Prometheus, the history club of Georgia Tech, provides an active forum for the discussion of ideas related to history and sociology, especially focusing on topics typically outside the range of most Institute curriculum.

Prometheus sponsors museum trips, film viewings, and guest speakers. Examples of recent events include a forum on female forms of radicalism for Women’s History Month, a group tour of the Atlanta Cyclorama, a screening of and lecture on the film The Patriot, a round table on Cuba after Fidel, and a tour of the Museum of American Patriotism.

Named for the figure from Greek mythology who stole fire and technology from the gods and gave them to humankind, Prometheus acts as an intellectual and social center for all Georgia Tech students interested in history and sociology.
