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

Next NSF ADVANCE program session for the College of Architecture:
Thank you to everyone who participated in the brainstorming event! We discussed worrying trends, opportunities for improvement, and specific activities that could enhance academic success for women and the entire college. Many excellent ideas were presented.
At our next session, we will follow up on some of these ideas. Our preliminary agenda will include:
NSF ADVANCE Program Women of Excellence Awards - nominations and award events
Presentation of survey results
Our strategy for pursuing other proposals made during the March 31 meeting such as symposia, other awards, etc.
Developing a strategy for a strong mentoring and talent-retainment program in the College
Creating and maintaining less formal opportunities for women in the College of Architecture to interact with each other
