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

Each year, the Student Government Association’s (SGA) government relations committee and the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity team up to host Wreck the Vote, a campuswide voter registration drive. This year, Wreck the Vote will also include helping people request their absentee ballots, check their voter registration, and find their polling place.
SGA will be tabling on Skiles Walkway from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 16, to pass out information and answer questions. Meanwhile, Alpha Phi Alpha will be holding virtual office hours from 1 to 2 p.m. Sept. 15-17 so that students, faculty, and staff can ask questions without any face-to-face interaction.
Wreck the Vote week will culminate in a debate on Thursday, Sept. 17, between Georgia Tech’s four political student organizations: College Democrats, College Republicans, Young Democratic Socialists of America, and Young Americans for Liberty. The debate will be streamed over BlueJeans starting at 6 p.m.
