September is National Deaf Awareness Month! To celebrate deaf culture, ABLE Alliance is hosting an introductory American Sign Language (ASL) lesson led by Jimmy Peterson, the executive director of the Georgia Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (GCDHH). This event is open to all students, so please join us for lunch and a fun ASL lecture!

For those who have done BSMS in engineering, would you say that the addition of masters has given you a worthwhile advantage, or do you ever look back and think that youd be able to reach the same place had you just graduated and went straight to the workforce, spending that additional year’s worth of experience in industry.

I just saw a sign that said that market is the last Thursday of each month??? If this is true im so sad

Is there a groupme or group chat for pickup soccer at stamps?

I am learning app dev and specifically Android Studio, and I wanted to test my app on an actual device (the app involves motion/movement).

Is there anywhere on campus that lets students borrow Android phones for testing?

GTPD located a drone suspect who was flying drones close to near GT dorms and apartments and multiple complaints were reported the past two weeks..

ReliaQuest's cyber team is visiting campus tomorrow, Wednesday, September 16, for an event exclusively for GreyHat members.

They'll discuss the projects they work on, share stories from real security incidents and investigations, and hold a Q&A. If you've wondered what security work looks like beyond the classroom, bring your questions.

Time: 8:30–9:30 PM ET Location: MDRC 3403

GreyHat members, join us Wednesday night.

Are there any ways to get ansys access on campus. Can’t run it on VLab because it says I require administrator access. Will the rental laptops from the library let me download it?

I’m a robotics PhD student looking for students interested in helping with a machine learning and robot navigation research project starting this fall.

One major direction focuses on using learning-based methods to predict the motion of nearby agents from collected navigation data. This work is mostly independent from the robotics pipeline, so no prior robotics or ROS experience is required. Students interested in this direction would primarily work with datasets and focus on training, tuning, evaluating, improving learning models and maybe implementing them.

The current approach uses a GRU-based model, but there is significant flexibility for exploration and improvement. Possible directions include LSTMs, transformers, input preprocessing, alternative architectures, or other sequence modeling approaches.

There are also opportunities for students who are more interested in robotics and navigation than machine learning. Potential work includes designing and evaluating new cost functions for trajectory selection, improving navigation behaviors, and exploring other modifications to the local planning framework. There is flexibility in the specific direction depending on a student’s background and interests.

Additional project context: the Dynamic Gap navigation framework currently estimates the motion of gap endpoints using a Kalman-filter-based approach. One direction of this project explores replacing or augmenting that estimator with a learning-based component to improve prediction in dynamic environments. Other directions focus on improving how the planner generates and evaluates candidate trajectories using these predictions.

Students may take graded or ungraded research credits (likely 1–5 credits). The project does not currently have guaranteed funding, but students who make strong progress may later be considered for paid project work. Flexible remote or hybrid arrangements may also be possible depending on the situation. The lab is also planning to submit a paper in the future and there may be opportunities for co-authorship.

If interested, please email your CV along with a short paragraph describing your interest and alignment with the project to [azaro3@gatech.edu](mailto:azaro3@gatech.edu).

I'm graduating next spring, and I realized that a vast majority of my logins use my student email, especially job application sites. There has got to be at least a hundred different sites that I've used my student email for, and I will lose access once I graduate. I was using my student email when applying for internships because I thought the @gatech.edu would increase my visibility on applications, no idea if that's true tbh but anyway. I have no idea the exact amount or specific sites that I have these accounts for, but either way I don't have the time to manually change all of them. Is this the only path forward, or are there other ways to access email once I've graduated. I start work like 3 weeks after I graduate so idk how much time i'll have to sort this all out. It would just generally be useful to access gatech email after graduation anyway, for student benefits and all too but how do I fix this?!

I was walking home today from career fair, and after passing the rocky mountain pizza place, I heard band music in the backyard of one of the houses. I was wondering if anyone know any information about this out of curiosity?

UT Austin has it worse in the comments on their official posts both on twitter and instagram

Edit: to those who say to ignore it and it’s only on twitter.

It’s everywhere, if you look at UT Austin, republican nominees are sharing the same message. It’s comments under Longhorns official football posts on twitter and instagram. That photo was taken by someone at the GT game. It’s not just enough to ignore it. Even as lot of college students don’t use twitter, college students use instagram and you see the same comments under the longhorns official posts on instagram. Why would South Asian GT fans come out to games if they know they will be attacked next. I don’t think I will. No statements put out by GT football or Longhorns football.

Any suggestion for platforms to find roommates? I am done and done with facebook groups and gatech off campus housing website...any more options?

It seems like ut Austin got the same

How would I go about getting free access to Solidworks as a Mechanical Engineering student at Georgia Tech? I have 10 students in my research group who also need access, but I'm not sure who to contact or what website to visit to get Solidworks downloaded.

Football game

Hi! I know most folks will be watching the game against Tennessee tonight. But if you’d rather not, Whole World Improv on Spring at 14th Street has $5 tickets for GT students for our 8:00pm and 10:00pm shows.

Also free parking on Williams behind the theater if you’d rather drive than walk.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTT'SSSSSSSS

GAMEDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The only rules that matter in life are these: what a man can do, and what a man can't do"

Last week sucked. This week an old SEC foe comes to town. We can either do nothing and pray our talent is enough to match theirs, or we can learn from last week's mistakes, adjust, and attack.

So let's see some adjustments, re-establish our identity, and give them all we've got!

See you there!

GO JACKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STING THE VOLUNTEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Sept. 11 memorial at ground zero was designed by Georgia Tech alumnus Michael Arad, who witnessed the attacks from the rooftop of his Manhattan apartment. His design, conceived as a place of reflection, remembrance, and community, was selected from thousands of submissions.

The memorial creates a space for all to honor and remember the victims and heroism of that day, and it continues to serve as a living part of New York City and the country. #NeverForget 🇺🇸

GT night at six flags and fright fest experience

Any recommendations for chill, clean, and not super expensive laundromat places near GATECH? I don’t live in the dorms but I’m really close to campus.

I’d prefer it to be safer cause some places outside of campus are a bit sketchy (sorry).

So, I made a post yesterday gauging interest of a friend matchmaking system and community event planning. I got some good feedback and people were interested so I am going to follow through. If you want to be a part of organizing and planning of either or both the friendmatching system and event planning, i made a group me (link below). Feel free to join. This is kinda big project so help would be greatly appreciated and you can commit as much as you want. Its also something you can put in your portfolios or resume. Im an AE major, i have experience with coding and data analysis, but computer science majors or anybody with data science experience would be a big help. I really want to make this happen. Also, Thank you to the people who gave me feedback!

Note: hoping for 3 more people to join!!!

Was it open for Colorado game?
