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
*********************************
As we continue to witness national and global events that wrench our hearts and souls, we know many of you could use another safe space to process your thoughts and feelings. In light of this, we are hosting “Community Conversation – The Sequel” to be a healing space to process some of these recent events. You will be free to voice your thoughts, vent about your frustrations, witness one another’s pain, frustration, and resilience, and consider essential strategies for healing and moving forward with hope and purpose.
The dialogue will be facilitated by Pearl Alexander and Dr. Tia Jackson, senior leaders in Institute Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. Again, you will have an opportunity to share personal stories, reflections, emotions, and experiences, or simply sit back and listen as others share from their hearts during this time.
Feel free to join the call for whatever portion of time your schedule permits.
NOTE: This session will not be recorded.
