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
*********************************
The Center for Urban Research is a partnership between the Georgia Institute of Technology and the City of Atlanta Office of the Mayor, focused on collaborative solutions to address socio-economic inequities in urban areas—bringing academic expertise across the state to the work being done on the ground. The Center seeks to build mutually beneficial partnerships with university, community, non-profit and municipal leaders across the city; support community resiliency and sustainability; provide enhanced learning experiences for students; and catalyze collaborative research projects with direct impact on the city of Atlanta and state of Georgia.
The launch will open with remarks from key administrators from the Institute and a short vision statement from the Inaugural Director, David Edwards. The next session of the launch will focus on highlighting ongoing projects that demonstrate collaboration with faculty and practitioners on policy-relevant research. The last hour of the event will be a strategy session to discuss how we can collaborate to advance the goals of the Center on our campus. We will then invite everyone to join in a reception for informal conversation.
The event is open to all members of the Georgia Tech community.
