The Guthmans

Richard Guthman (IE '56) wanted to honor his wife, Margaret, and support music at Georgia Tech. In homage to Mrs. Guthman's talent as a piano player, the Margaret A. Guthman Keyboard Competition began in 1998.

In 2009, following the expansion of the School of Music and with Richard and Margaret's support, the keyboard competition transformed into the Guthman Musical Instrument Competition.
