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

OMED’s 37th annual Challenge program welcomed one of its largest cohorts to Georgia Tech this summer. During the five-week, intensive academic preparatory program, Challenge participants were immersed in the Georgia Tech environment, living in a first-year dorm, taking classes, and participating in activities like whitewater rafting and mental health and well-being workshops.
The Black Student Experience Task Force recommends expanding Challenge to 175 underrepresented minority and women students per program over the next three years.
