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

Ms. Kristen Powell, third year chemistry undergraduate, was the recipient of a $1,000 research project design award by Celanese Corporation.
Celanese Corporation is a global leader in the chemicals industry and world's largest producer of acetic acid. For the competition, chemistry and biochemistry undergraduates were given a current scientific challenge faced by Celanese and asked to design a process to improve or solve the problem. Representatives from Celanese provided counsel to the students during the term and assisted with judging (along with Chemistry faculty) in the review of the project designs.
Congratulations to Kristen! Thanks to Celanese for support of this endeavor.
