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

Brittain Fellow Sarah O’Brien received a Public Service Pathways grant from Tech’s new Office of Serve-Learn-Sustain that will facilitate a partnership between her English 1102 course on Ecomedia and the community organization Trees Atlanta. As part of their study of the rhetorical effects of media on environment, students in the course will produce public service announcements about the organization’s Beltline Arboretum Project. Sarah is also serving on a team of eight SLS trainers who will provide professional development workshops for faculty and staff on how to best incorporate sustainability issues and community engagement into their teaching.
