HTS PROFESSOR MACRAKIS TO SPEAK AT THE CARTER CENTER

Posted by Admin On 3:30:00 PM 0 comments



Kristie Macrakis
"Prisoners, Lovers, and Spies: The Story of Invisible Ink"
Reading/Book Signing
Tuesday, April 8, 2014 at 7:00pm
Carter Presidential Library & Museum Theater
Free and Open to the Public

Prisoners, Lovers, and Spies is a book about concealing and revealing secret
communications. It is the first history of invisible writing, uncovered through
stories about scoundrels and heroes. Dr. Macrakis combines a storyteller’s sense
of drama with a historian’s respect for evidence in this page-turning history of
intrigue and espionage, love and war, magic and secrecy. From the piazzas of
ancient Rome to the spy capitals of the Cold War, Macrakis's global history
reveals the drama and importance of invisible ink. From Ovid’s advice to use
milk for illicit love notes, to John Gerard's dramatic escape from the tower of
London aided by orange juice ink messages, to al-Qaeda’s hidden instructions in
pornographic movies, this book presents spellbinding stories of secret messaging
that chart its evolution in sophistication and its impact on history. An
appendix includes fun kitchen chemistry recipes for readers to try out at home.

VOTE FOR THE 2014 STUDENT GIFT TO TECH

Posted by Admin On 2:18:00 PM 0 comments

For the fourth consecutive year, Tech students have the opportunity to
contribute to and award a group gift to the campus project they deem most
worthy.

The gift's sum is a fluid number, as it includes $5 from every SAA member and a
matching gift from alumnus Walt Ehmer (IE 1989). A team of SAA students compiled
the list of potential recipients and worked with them to fine-tune the specifics
of what the gift would fund in each area. The annual Gift to Tech program from
the Student Alumni Association (SAA) lets students vote for which project will
earn a bounty of more than $30,000. The gift is meant to provide a way for
students to start giving back to Tech while still on campus.

This year’s potential beneficiaries represent the many varied interests of Tech
students, including bicycle infrastructure, campus safety, an outdoor concert
series, solar-powered electricity stands, tradition plaques, Tech's new Campus
Kitchen, and the Student Government Association's Buzzinga competition. Full
descriptions of how the funds would be spent for each are available at SAA’s
website. Last year, $28,000 went to the Georgia Tech Band.

All currently enrolled students have until March 14 to cast a vote; they must
log in to vote at gtsaa.com/vote with their Georgia Tech username and password.
Voting will reopen on March 24 to SAA members only. Each member can cast one
more vote for one of the top three projects from the first round of voting.
Faculty and staff are not eligible to vote.

The 2014 Gift to Tech will be announced the week of April 14, with a celebration
and presentation at the Kessler Campanile on April 17 at 11 a.m.

whether it’s for a permanent, co-op, or internship position.

Students who want to nail the interview and land the job can prepare by taking
advantage of mock interviews, resume blitzes, seminars, etiquette dinners,
workshops, and more, where professionals from business and industry, their
college, or Georgia Tech’s Center for Career Discovery and Development share
their guidance and expertise.

But what advice might students have for other students when it comes to making
the most of Georgia Tech’s many face-to-face job search opportunities? How do
they manage the pitfalls of personal appearance, the intimidation of the
interview, the hazards of the handshake, the night-before nerves? We went to the
floor of Georgia Tech’s biggest Career Fair to find out…  See what students have
to say at www.news.gatech.edu/features/career-fair.

BOR MATH AND ENGLISH POLICY

Posted by Admin On 1:59:00 PM 0 comments

The Office of the Registrar is reminding you of the Board of Regents policy
requiring students to complete their Math and English requirements according to
the benchmarks below:


Effective for freshman entering Fall 2010, students who have earned 60 hours but
have not completed Areas A1 (English--ENGL 1101 and ENGL 1102) or A2 (Math--MATH
1501 or MATH 1712) must enroll in the next course necessary to make progress
toward completing this Area in every semester in which they take classes.

Effective for freshman entering Fall 2011, this hour limit is lowered to 45
hours.

Effective for freshman entering Fall 2012, the hour limit is lowered to 30
hours.

If students are not meeting these benchmarks, they must register for the next
course necessary to make progress toward completing their degree during Phase I
registration. If students are out of compliance and do not register for the
course during Phase I registration, we will register them for a course for the
Fall term. The Registrar’s Office will send email reminders to students who are
not in compliance with the Board of Regents policy on March 24th.
