Contributors Val Barnhart, Matthew Frizzell, Ed Hall, and Dedren Snead will join Yaszek to explore John P. Moore's rediscovered contributions to science fiction. Through the conversation, attendees will learn more about the thriving Black science-fiction community of the 1930s, the role of historical research and contemporary literary scholarship, and how Georgia Tech students worked to recover and reexamine the lost worlds of Moore's The Martian Trilogy.

This informal faculty mixer is designed to spark new connections, conversations, and collaborations around a timely theme: Education Beyond the Traditional Classroom.

There is no formal program or presentations. Instead, participants will have the opportunity to:

• Connect with colleagues from across campus.
• Expand their professional networks.
• Discuss emerging ideas and challenges.
• Explore potential research and teaching collaborations.

Faculty whose work includes experiential learning, community engagement, lifelong learning, global partnerships, informal education, outreach, or innovative approaches to teaching and scholarship are encouraged to attend.

The event is hosted by Leslie Sharp, dean of Libraries, and William "Bill" Gaudelli, dean of the College of Lifetime Learning.

The Georgia Tech Library will provide the space, snacks, and refreshments. Attendees are encouraged to bring their ideas, curiosity, and energy.

Come connect, converse, and discover what bubbles up.

The Bubbling Up series is hosted by the Georgia Tech Library in partnership with the Office of the Provost, the Office of the Executive Vice President for Research, and the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty.

This workshop will help you gain familiarity with tools for measuring scholarship and outputs of research. We will cover

• Resources for finding credible journals in your field

About Centennial Summer: Georgia Tech's Olympic Legacy

Thirty years ago, Atlanta welcomed the world for the Centennial Olympic Games, a 17-day event that transformed both the city and the Georgia Tech campus. The Games spurred significant urban renewal and infrastructure projects, elevating Atlanta's profile on the global stage.

At the heart of that transformation was Georgia Tech. Serving as the Olympic Village and host to several competition venues, the Institute renovated Alexander Memorial Coliseum and added seven residence halls, North Avenue Apartments, the Campanile, and a new pool that later became part of the Campus Recreation Center, shaping the student experience for generations.

The Georgia Tech community is invited to revisit these Olympic memories and explore their legacy through the Library's newest exhibit, Centennial Summer: Georgia Tech's Olympic Legacy. The exhibit examines the lasting impact of the 1996 Games through photographs, artifacts, and personal stories.

Centennial Summer: Georgia Tech's Olympic Legacy is on display through mid-November in the Library Exhibit Gallery on the first floor of Price Gilbert. Gallery hours are 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. daily.
