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

The Society for Biodiversity (SBD) is new student organization focused on promoting and increasing the number of underrepresented minorities in STEM-related fields.
One way SBD is approaching this goal is through partnerships with Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC) and outreach through local K-12 schools. Dr. Kamau Bobb of CEISMC will be speaking on the current state of STEM education and minority student performance in Georgia Public Schools at the club meeting on September 24 at 5pm in Student Center room 320.
