It’s the last weekend before the fall semester begins. There’s a party tonight at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field; games, food, and fun at the John Lewis Student Center tomorrow; and New Student Convocation on Sunday. 

Have a great weekend! 🐝

Kickoff is less than two weeks away. From parking to Helluva Block Party, Athletics has made changes across the board to improve the gameday experience.

Parking and Transportation Services has partnered with Uber to provide rides to North Avenue Research Area and Science Square and for late-night campus travel.

What began as a single program now includes four camps introducing students to engineering challenges while helping them explore potential pathways in STEM.
