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
*********************************
Kids@Kollege is a philanthropic organization on campus whose mission is to bring underprivileged children from the Atlanta area to Tech for a day in the spring.
Our 3rd annual Kids@Kollege day benefits the local schools, Boys and Girls Clubs, near-by children shelters, and other Atlanta-based children organizations by giving kids a day of interactive science experiments, recreational activities, and food with Georgia Tech students and faculty. The event is free for all in attendance, and is open to children and adolescents of all ages, as well as their families.
We need volunteers for the day of the event to be group leaders for the kids, play sports, help run experiments, help with check in, food, and other miscellaneous tasks. The day is a fun and rewarding experience, and we can approve any required community service hours. For more information and to sign up to volunteer, visit our Website, below.
About the organization:
Kids@Kollege won the 2008 Georgia Tech Burdell's Best Award for "Best Short Term Service Project" as well as the 2009 Georgia Tech Burdell's Best Award for "Best New Organization." In addition to our main spring event, we hold fundraising events throughout the year. Overall, Kids@Kollege has been highly successful, and we are continuing to grow as a reputable organization on campus.
