New in 2020, the Division of Student Life and Institute Communications are collaborating to bring together unique student recognition ceremonies to create a cohesive Student Celebration Week! Visit the link to view all of the different events and celebrations happening April 20 - 23, 2020.
The Division of Student Life is here to serve you! Even though we are in a virtual academic environment, our offices and departments are open and virtually available to support all your needs! Below are each of the upcoming events and engagement opportunities. You can also reach any of our Division departments by phone, email or social media.
Office of the Arts
- Clough Student Art Crawl is Now Online
Over 150 amazing works exploring the very timely theme of Identity, Community, and Belonging were selected for the spring Clough Student Art Crawl that opened on March 12. For those who were not able to view all of the pieces before we switched to distance learning, we have moved the exhibit online! We encourage you explore the incredible talents of Georgia Tech students and celebrate their creativity. - Express Yourself & Connect with a Virtual MURAL
Georgia Tech Arts, in collaboration with Health Initiatives, has created a virtual MURAL for students, where you are free to share your thoughts, advice, photos, and artwork around different prompts. In this space, you have free creative expression and can add sticky notes, text, freeform doodles, stock images, videos, and upload photos as well. You can collaborate and create in real-time with your fellow classmates.- We remind students that you must adhere to Georgia Tech policies for student conduct when creating and sharing content. Also, please think of this as a public space and be careful about not sharing any personally identifiable information. There's no need to register to get started with MURAL.
- Here's a little tutorial video with some tricks for unlocking the different features of MURAL.
