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

Food FestMost days, Tech’s diversity is evident just by walking around campus. One day a year, though, you can actually taste it.
Each spring, the International Food Fest lets the campus community try native dishes from cultures around the world right in the middle of campus. The food is prepared by student groups that dedicate themselves year-round to celebrating their own cultures and heritage.
Students spent Sunday, March 29, preparing to serve campus on Monday, March 30, on Tech Walk from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Food Fest kicks off this year's Culture Fest, which is jointly hosted by Global Jackets and the Office of International Education and continues through April 6. Other events include trivia, film screenings, sporting events, a karaoke night, language café, and sporting activities. View a full list from the Office of International Education.
The student groups participating in Food Fest have been kind enough to share recipes for their dishes. Read on to learn how to incorporate Tech’s global culture into your own kitchen.
