Over the past couple of months, SGA has been consulting with Georgia Tech Communications and Marketing about the possibility of utilizing their professional services to design an updated SGA web system. The goal of this redesign is to update the user interface to be more visually in-line with the main Institute Web site, while still reflecting visual themes consistent with the organization. Equally important will be the introduction of a new, comprehensive content management system (CMS), upon which the new site will be built.

This will be a major improvement in SGA's transparency and ability to communicate effectively with the student body. Since Communications and Marketing has also agreed to finance half of the project for us, it is also a great deal for SGA.

The Delta Upsilon Leadership Institute (LI) is held every summer for all Delta Upsilon undergraduates and alumni as a way to help undergraduates develop leadership skills within their Fraternity. This year marks our 175th anniversary as a Fraternity. Many famous DUs will attend such as coach Lou Holtz, General Tommy Franks, and former MLB commissioner Peter Ueberroth. LI marks an extremely important opportunity for all members to develop leadership skills, understand how an international organization operates, and participate in workshops all day. In particular, LI teaches us to not only help out Delta Upsilon but our respective college as well. We learn how to get more involved in other organizations on campus and strive to improve our college through philanthropy, leadership opportunities on campus, and how to be a model student on campus. This year's LI will be held in Albany, New York at the Crown Plaza Hotel from Thursday, July 23rd to Sunday July 26th. We would love to send as many of our members as possible to help develop leadership skills and improve ourselves as men of Georgia Tech and Delta Upsilon.
