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
*********************************
Up to seven one –year $10,000 National Science Foundation Noyce Scholarships are immediately available for senior Tech students who want to teach secondary level (grades -6-12) mathematics through a partnership with Kennesaw State.
Seniors at Tech who are majoring in a STEM* field or STEM-related field and have a minimum 3.0 GPA may apply immediately to receive the scholarship during the 2013 fall and 2014 spring semester. Upon graduation in 2014, recipients will then enter into a Masters of Art (MAT) in Teaching in Mathematics Education (grades 6-12) at Kennesaw State. The MAT degree includes graduate-level content coursed as well as initial teaching certification in Georgia. Teachers with a master’s receive higher salaries. Participants will also complete requirements to teach mathematics to English Language Learners. Recipients are required to complete one year of teaching in a high-need school district for each $5,000 of support received. Applicants do not have to take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) if a senior.
*Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
Applicants are being accepted now and must be received by September 1st
