📓 Math Lab Solves the Tutoring Support Equation
Nestled in the breezeway of Skiles, students scribble away on rolling white boards, deep in discussion, while others sit at tables, writing on worksheets and chatting. For these students, understanding equations is no longer an individual problem to be solved on one’s own, online. With the new outdoor Math Lab, students can now work in collaboration with teaching assistants and each other to reach solutions.

🔬 Tech Fee Funds Next-Level Lab Instruments, Equipment, Resources
Equipment purchased with Tech Fees makes a huge difference in putting sophisticated instrumentation into Georgia Tech's teaching labs, say College of Sciences administrators, giving undergraduates experiences that are beyond those typically found at other institutions of higher learning.

🧪 Undergraduate Student Researchers Making an Impact
Get to know four undergrad researchers serving as catalysts for innovation and development in their respective fields — and representing Georgia Tech’s mission in developing leaders and improving the human condition.

💛 College Adds Counselor to Support Student Well-being, Mental Health
College of Sciences satellite counselor Tara Holdampf will provide confidential consultations and support for students, virtually and from the Molecular Science and Engineering Building.

'We Think Big' – Q&A with Computing Dean Charles Isbell

“I don’t think most people are aware of wildlife on campus,” shares School of Biological Sciences' Emily Weigel. Atlanta is often called the “city in a forest” because of its lush canopy of trees, uncommon for a major city. In the heart of that forest sits Georgia Tech’s 400-acre campus, and that's where many animals thrive.
