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

The Breast Cancer 3-Day in Atlanta will start on Friday morning, October 20th and end with Closing Ceremonies on Sunday afternoon, October 22nd. Thousands of walkers will cover about 20 miles a day, traveling at their own pace. The walkers will be supported by hundreds of volunteer crew members who will provide meals, water and snack stops, gear transport, hot showers, portable restrooms, safety on the streets, and comprehensive medical services.
In order to participate, each walker must train for the event and must commit to raising a minimum of $2,200 (many walkers will raise more than the minimum). To help prepare for the Breast Cancer 3-Day, each walker is supported by coaches who assist in all aspects of training and fundraising. Clinics, meetings, training sessions, and mailings provide ongoing support.
All Georgia Tech faculty, staff, students, and alumni are encouraged to either join Team Buzzz or form their own team. Please contact Ramel at nadya.ramel@isye.gatech.edu, or 404.894-2321 for more information about Team Buzzz.
