The Mini 500 is an annual 8 lap tricycle race that takes place around Peter’s Parking Deck on the Friday afternoon before the Homecoming football game. It is one of Georgia Tech’s most unique traditions put on by Ramblin’ Reck Club since 1969. Teams consist of seven members: four racers and three pit crew who are responsible for maintenance and rotation of the racing tricycle's tires. Each team is required to rotate their front tire three times throughout the course of the race, typically following the second, fourth, and sixth lap. All teams attempt to complete all 8 laps as quickly as possible without destroying their tricycle.

Please join us beginning at 4:00 on Friday, October 23rd at the Mini 500 tailgate! This will include vendors and giveaways open to all!

Led by the Robert C. Williams Museum of Papermaking, this workshop will explore an early form of cameraless photography known as the cyanotype. Using paper pre-coated with a mixture of chemicals, sunlight, and plants, participants will create their own cyanotypes.

After creating an individual cyanotype, participants will collaborate on a large group piece. 

Participants will also learn about the history of cyanotypes, from the technique's invention and earliest photographic applications to contemporary paper artists who create artwork using this process.

All materials will be provided.

This workshop is open to Georgia Tech students, staff, and faculty.

Led by Dr. John Sears, the seminar follows an AI-assisted innovation from the laboratory through intellectual property protection, validation, financing, and market entry. Participants will gain a practical framework for managing AI-related risks, documenting human contributions, preparing for due diligence, and identifying the assets that create lasting value as innovation moves at AI speed.

*Refreshments: 12-12:30 PM, ES&T Atrium

Second, I introduce the TRIDENT model (Tides and Rivers Influencing the Dynamic Evolution of Nearshore Tsunamis), a modeling framework designed to simulate the coupling between tsunamis, tides, and river flows. The coupled model is designed for estuaries, tidal channels, and fjords, and it addresses key challenges when simulating these interactions.

Finally, I will present results from a study that links dispersive tsunami wave trains visible in satellite imagery to near-trench earthquake rupture. By analyzing tsunami dispersion in the near-source wave field, this approach provides a new observational footprint for constraining source processes that improves resolving power near the trench compared with traditional seismic, geodetic, and tsunami sensing technologies.

Collectively, these studies demonstrate complementary advances, from field deployment to coupled modeling for hazard prediction to remote-sensing-based discovery, that expand the toolkit for understanding and assessing tsunami hazards and risks.

Artist’s bio: 

Atlanta’s Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics are the heirs to the thrones of the old-school masters. But they’re much more than just a group of revivalists trying to create a period piece. Powerhouse singer Velle and her band will settle for nothing less than bringing these classic sounds glimmering into the now with a fresh, new contemporary sheen.

It’s this inviting and accessible bravado that has scored the band critical acclaim from outlets such as The New York Daily News, MTV, Paste and more. And in addition to their critical success, at a time when record sales are at an all- time industry low, the completely independent, DIY-minded Velle and the Soulphonics sold a quarter-million downloads of their single, “My Dear” on iTunes, landing them in the top 30 on Billboard’s Heatseeker charts and at a stunning #4 on the iTunes R&B charts when their debut album It’s About Time was released in 2012. 

The group has shared bills with megastars and indie press darlings alike, including The Temptations, Lee Fields & The Expressions, Iggy Pop, Erykah Badu, Goodie Mob, Gary Clark Jr., Animal Collective, Feist, Bush, The Wailers, Dumpstaphunk, Bombino, Peaches, The Internet and Kendrick Lamar.

Together, they will share personal stories, behind-the-scenes perspectives, and reflections on this historic moment in Atlanta's history.

The program will conclude with a special lighting of the 1996 Olympic torch in honor of former Georgia Tech mechanical engineering professor Sam Shelton, whose engineering expertise contributed to one of the most recognizable symbols of the Centennial Olympic Games.

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.

Artist’s bio: 

For 25 years and counting, Grammy-winning percussion quartet Sō Percussion has redefined chamber music for the 21st century through an “exhilarating blend of precision and anarchy, rigor and bedlam” (The New Yorker). They are celebrated by audiences and presenters for a dazzling range of work: for live performances in which “telepathic powers of communication” (The New York Times) bring to life the vibrant percussion repertoire; for an extravagant array of collaborations in classical music, pop, indie rock, contemporary dance, and theater; and for their work in education and community-building, seeking to explore the immense possibility of art in our time. 

To celebrate its 25th anniversary season, Sō Percussion releases 25×25 on Cantaloupe Music in September 2025, an 8-disc box set featuring 500 minutes of entirely new and previously-unreleased recordings of 21st century music, each piece written for, in collaboration with, and premiered by Sō Percussion. 25×25 includes works by Bora Yoon, Kendall K. Williams, Vân-Ánh Võ, Dan Trueman, Jason Treuting, Olivier Tarpaga, Shodekeh Talifero, Caroline Shaw. Juri Seo, claire rousay, Tristan Perich, Angélica Negrón, Andrea Mazzariello, Steven Mackey, Michael J. Love, Leilehua Lanzilotti, Nathalie Joachim, Robyn Jacob, Vijay Iyer, Suzanne Farrin, Cenk Ergün, Donnacha Dennehy, Dan Deacon, Eric Cha-Beach – and Sō Percussion as a writing group! 

Recent highlights include a headlining series of concerts and collaborations at Bang on a Can’s LOUD Weekend at MASS MoCA, leading a festival-opening of Steve Reich’s Drumming with the composer in the audience; a two-week residency at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) in two programs, including collaborations with Helado Negro and Kate Stables (This is the Kit) and with Caroline Shaw featuring Ringdown performing a program highlighting their GRAMMY-winning Nonesuch album, Rectangles and Circumstance (Best Chamber Music / Small Ensemble Performance, 2025). Sō has performed concerts at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Big Ears, Cal Performances, the BOZAR in Brussels, 92NY, at the Palau de la Musica Catalana in Barcelona, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Penn Live Arts in Philadelphia, the Hancher Auditorium at the University of Iowa, the Library of Congress; toured Benin and Burkina Faso with Olivier Tarpaga – and elsewhere. 

Along with 25×25, Sō has a catalog of more than thirty albums featuring landmark recordings of works by David Lang, Steve Reich, Julia Wolfe, Caroline Shaw, Steven Mackey, Bobby Previte, Matmos, and many others. 

Rooted in the belief that music is an elemental form of human communication, and galvanized by forces for social change, Sō enthusiastically pursues a range of social and community outreach through their nonprofit umbrella, including an ongoing partnership with Pan in Motion; the Sō Laboratories concert series; a studio residency program in Brooklyn; and the Sō Percussion Summer Institute, an intensive two-week chamber music seminar for percussionists and composers they have led annually since 2009. The members of Sō Percussion are the Edward T. Cone Performers-in-Residence at Princeton University – a role they’ve held for more than a decade. 

Sō Percussion is Jason Treuting, Adam Sliwinski, Josh Quillen, and Eric Cha-Beach.

This month's video is “Seeing Whole Systems” by game developer, web designer, and critical theorist Nicky Case. Delivered in 2017, the talk uses dynamic visuals to explore the nonlinear feedback loops among culture, economics, and technology.

The discussion will be facilitated by Li Zhang, intellectual property and engineering librarian.

From 7:00–8:00 PM, we’ll be teaching a free, beginner-friendly lesson in Tango and Rumba. No previous dance experience is needed, and you do not need to bring a partner!

After the lesson, stay for social dancing from 8:00–10:30 PM, where you can practice what you learned, meet new people, and dance with members of all experience levels.

Interested in competing? You’ll also have the opportunity to learn more about our competitive ballroom dance team, including how to join, what practices and competitions are like, and what to expect during the upcoming season.

Whether you want to compete, learn something new, make friends, or just enjoy a fun night of dancing, we would love to see you there!

Come enjoy pizza, goof off, and mabye do some radio stuff if we are feeling productive. 🤣
