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

I am pleased to announce that the Second Annual ISyE Ph.D. Pregame Picnic will be held this Friday, October 1 from 4-7 P.M. on the IC Lawn, weather permitting.
This event is FREE FOR ISyE Ph.D. STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND STAFF. We encourage people to bring their families and close friends, as one of our goals is to have a "family-oriented" event. However, to cover expenses, there is a nominal $3 fee for all adult guests. There is no cost for children.
The menu will include, but not be limited to: hamburgers, veggie burgers, beef hot dogs, grilled chicken, vegetarian baked beans, and potato salad.
Water and soda will be provided as well. ALCOHOL IS PROHIBITED.
We are also planning to have a volleyball setup and, if enough interested faculty attend, a faculty vs student volleyball match.
If you would like to attend this event, please respond to this email no later than Thursday, September 30, at 5 P.M. with the following
information:
Name:
Year in Program (2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.):
Area of Concentration or Specialty (EDA, Optimization, Statistics, etc):
Number of Adult Guests:
Number of Children Guests:

We also could use some volunteers to help with the following:
1. Setup of tables and chairs at approximately 3:00 P.M.
2. Volleyball setup at approximately 3:30 P.M.
3. Clean-up from approximately 7:30-9:00 P.M.
If you are available and are willing to volunteer for one or more of these, please indicate that in your reply as well. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, and we look forward to enjoying your fellowship on Friday!!! :)
