There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Eleven professors and students from Georgia Tech visited Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and engaged in discussions with the mayoral office, the port authority, and an economic development committee about the best approaches to accelerate development around the city’s port. The strategies recommended by Professor Nancey Green Leigh and Associate Professor Perry Yang to transform the bay area into a knowledge-based economy and to preserve a public access to the city’s waterfront will be considered as part of the larger bay area development plan.
