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

On the day Delta Air Lines offered direct service to Shanghai, Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue and a delegation from Georgia were on a flight to establish an economic development office in Beijing for the State of Georgia. Vice Provost for International Initiatives Steve McLaughlin was part of the team.
"Part of that trip is going to be focused on 'R and D' and how Georgia (can develop partnerships)." Tech currently has or is developing collaborative efforts with both Peking University and Tsinghua University in China's capital city.
