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 World Englishes Committee will present a poetic celebration of diversity at Georgia Tech. Sponsored by Georgia Tech's Writing and Communication Program, the event will feature international Georgia Tech students reading poetry from their home countries both in the original language and in English and conclude with a question and answer panel discussion of innovative teaching methods that incorporate the diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds of Georgia Tech students.
The event celebrates the diverse perspectives that Georgia Tech's international students bring to the classroom and to campus life and culture and that strives to build bridges between words and worlds.
Refreshments will be served.
