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

Georgia Tech's Caribbean Student Association will host a candlelight vigil tonight, January 14th, in support of the many individuals touched by the January 12th earthquake in Haiti. The natural disaster has displaced several hundred thousand Haitians, and estimates suggest many thousands are dead.
The vigil will begin at sundown by the campanile. All students, faculty, and staff are invited to attend.
If you have missing family members or friends, the office of U.S. Representative John Lewis (http://johnlewis.house.gov/) is collecting names to send to the embassy to see if they can help track people down.
