SCPC will be hosting the 101st Take-A-Prof on April
12th from 11am-1pm in the Student Success Center Presidential Suite. Students can take this opportunity to invite a professor or staff
member to a nice luncheon, which is an excellent opportunity for
students to develop professional relationships with their professor or staff member
of choice. The price of the tickets is $7 for the pair, and students can get
their tickets at scpc.gatech.edu.
Georgia Tech’s School of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering was established in 1901, making it one of the first chemical engineering programs in the country. With 800 undergraduates, 200 graduate students, and more than 40 full-time faculty members, it is also one of the largest. The College of Engineering at Georgia Tech consistently ranks among the top five engineering colleges in the country.

Academic Support Opportunity for Fresh/Soph
There
is an opportunity this weekend for Freshman and Sophomore students to attend a
seminar by Miller Templeton in an effort to build positive study
habits and raise GPAs.
Mr. Templeton is a renowned collegiate speaker and highly involved in Tech's President Scholar's Program. He is offering to give his academic talk to a non-PS and non-Honors crowd this Saturday on How to Make the GPA You Want. Students will attend the lecture then participate in workshop groups with supporting material (surveys, clinical studies, calendar-making, etc).
This is a must-attend seminar for students who are performing poorly or in fear of losing HOPE Scholarship. Miller's techniques and teaching materials are supported by clinical trials and tested on a Tech population. For example:

Tech Freshmen who took the ABAS survey at least 12
times over the semester and had average scores of 85 had:
an 80% probability
of making at least 3.7 GPA and
a 60% probability of
making a 4.0 GPA
The seminar is free but requires online registration and spots are limited:
