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

It was 11 a.m. on Monday, time to begin the first day of Organic Chemistry II. Professor Stefan France looked out over a 1,200-seat performing arts theater and saw two teaching assistants. Welcome back to campus. France’s students were absent by design. He was testing his ability to teach class remotely in a room Georgia Tech has marked off to host fewer than 150 people in an attempt to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
