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

Mini-Mesters allow students to explore interests outside of their major and gain a greater breadth of knowledge across academic disciplines; during the Fall 2019 semester, nearly 200 students participated in 14 Mini-Mester options. Spring offerings will explore topics as varied as sustainable design, podcasting, data visualization, and natural disasters.
Two of the current courses, GT 4801/8801: Open Data With R, and INTA 4811: International Philanthropy and Sustainable Development, will join new ones as part of the ongoing pilot program. The full list of course offerings for the upcoming semester can be found here, though it’s possible that more will be added before Phase II registration begins.
There will be two terms for Spring 2020 Mini-Mesters: Term 1 will run from Jan. 6 to Feb. 7, and Term 2 will run from Feb. 10 to March 13.
