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.

Discounted movie tickets, flights, and gym memberships are just a few of the hundreds of offers now available to Georgia Tech employees through the new USG Perks program.
The University System of Georgia (USG) added this free program as a benefit this year for all employees, including temporary workers. The progam includes savings at national retailers such as Macy’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Under Armour, DSW, Shoes.com, Williams-Sonoma, Best Buy, and Lowes, as well as local Atlanta restaurants.
All purchases must be made through the website in order to receive the discounts, and employees earn points for every dollar spent on the website. These points can eventually be redeemed for free gifts.
Employees can register using their Georgia Tech email address at
usg.edu/hr/benefits/usg_perks. Once signed up, users can also invite up to five non-USG employees, such as family members or friends, to join and enjoy the benefits of the program.
