🌲Trek Through Tech Information!

Trek Through Tech is a week-long scavenger hunt that explores Tech and the different resources that we have to offer! Join in on other fun events happening during Week of Welcome as you investigate clues and compete against other residents to earn prizes!                 

The Scavenger Hunt is hosted on the GooseChase app. 🤳 The hunt begins on August 14th at 8am and runs through August 18th at noon. There are 2145 points total to earn in the hunt. 

Set-Up, Gameplay, & Types of Challenges 

To join the Scavenger Hunt, download GooseChase on your iOS or Android device. New to GooseChase? Review how to get started and use the app here. The game code is X441WK and the name of the hunt is “Trek Through Tech.” Since our Scavenger Hunt is designed for individual play, prizes will be distributed to individuals. However, you can still play with others if you’d like! 

Each clue or “mission” requires you to submit evidence of completion in one of three forms: picture/video, text, or GPS location. Each mission describes an activity for you to complete or a location to go find on campus, and varying amounts of points (as indicated on each mission) are automatically awarded when evidence is submitted. GPS location and text-based evidence are automatically screened for accuracy. Picture/video evidence is automatically awarded points upon submission but will be reviewed for accuracy by a game moderator within 12 hours. Inaccurate submissions will be rejected—and the points earned from the task deducted. Spam photo/video submissions, inappropriate submissions, and any sort of “point farming” (submitting pictures that are obviously illegitimate submissions to earn points quickly) will result in subsequently stricter point deductions. 

You might not know what location each mission is describing right away, and that’s okay! Feel free to use the Internet to aid in your search—we pulled our clues from public information that is easily searchable on various GT websites.

FY24 Executive Board Elections Information 📢

Last Updated: March 5th

Please note that this page is a “living” webpage that is updated and reformatted to reflect the most relevant information. Information that is less relevant is moved to an accordion section at the end of this page. If you have any questions, please reach out to rha-president@housing.gatech.edu.

The Residence Hall Association is gearing up to bring on new student leaders that are interested in making a difference in their residential community, leading the second-largest student organization, and becoming the next generational leader. If you are interested, please read below to learn more about what RHA anticipates as well as some options to better prepare yourself for this election.

❗Information for Candidates

Thank you for applying! We are so happy about your enthusiasm to serve the residents! Here’s what we need from you:

  • All presentation materials should be emailed to rha-president@housing.gatech.edu by the deadline shown in the timeline below.
  • We recommend that candidates dress professionally for elections, but it is not required.
  • Be present for both election dinners and arrive in a timely manner
  • Reminder: Campaigning is not allowed; your platform and presentation are standalone and any outside campaigning or attempting to sway votes will result in disqualification.

Please reach out to rha-president@housing.gatech.edu with any questions that you have. Good luck with elections!

⏰ Election Timeline

This is the timeline we are looking to run. Please be knowledgeable of these deadlines as this timeline will be strictly enforced.

  • 2/7-2/27: Application for the Executive Board is live.
  • 2/16: Online (but recorded) Information Session
  • 3/3 @11:59pm: Application for the Executive Board closes
  • 3/8 @8am: Candidate Information Page is published.
  • 3/6-3/9: Platform Reviews
  • 3/9 @8am: Candidates are required to submit materials for Election Night.
  • 3/10 5:30-9:30pm: Election Dinner #1
  • 3/16 5:30-9:30pm: Election Dinner #2
  • 3/31: Beginning of turnover process starting with swearing in and a bonding dinner/night activity.

🗳 Election Dinner & Process

Ponko Chicken will be provided for Election night #1. Dinner #2 TBD

Dinner service will begin at 5:30 with an introduction from the RHA Executive Board. The first candidate will begin at 5:40.

We recommend that candidates dress professionally. Each candidate will have a total of 13 minutes to present their election platforms with the following timing breakdown:

  • 5 minutes platform review per candidate per position prior to presentations
  • 8 minutes for platform presentations (other candidates will be out of the room)
  • 5 minutes for Q&A (other candidates will be out of the room)
  • 8 minutes discussion per position (all candidates out of the room)
  • Results will be announced after each position.

After all candidates (for a given position) present their platforms, there will be 8 minutes of discussions among the voting representatives and then 3 minutes of voting time. The elected candidate will be announced the same night when votes are counted.

Voting Representatives

Only Area Council Officers or their delegated substitutes will be allowed to vote. Voters who are running for a position may not vote in the election for that position. Please email rha-president@housing.gatech.edu if you plan to make a delegate substitution and make sure both the ACO and the substitute delegate are included in the thread.

🔊 Platform Reviews

Due to a timeline change, the schedule no longer allows for platform reviews to be completed. In order to maintain a thorough and equitable election process, platforms will be posted as soon as conduct checks have been completed. Time has been built in on election night to review applicant platforms prior to the candidate presentations.

In the spirit of hosting a thorough and equitable election, voting representatives (Area Council Officers and substitute delegates) will be required to submit platform reviews. These platform reviews are simply to ensure that voting representatives spend a fair amount of time assessing each candidate and are prepared for effective conversation come election night. During platform reviews, voting representatives will be looking solely at your application and any attached materials.

Platform Reviews will be verified in anticipation of election night, so please have these submitted cordially. All ACOs will receive information regarding how to submit platform reviews. Substitute delegates can request platform review materials from rha-president@housing.gatech.edu.

For ACOs with candidates running for a position, a platform review for that candidate will not be necessary. Substitute delegates must submit platform reviews for all candidates.

RHA’s Week of Welcome Events—4 Events, 6 Workshops, & More!

Weather Notice ☔

A number of our events and activities are hosted outdoors. Subsequently, the success of these events is weather dependent, and we may have to cancel or reschedule events due to inclement weather throughout the week. Keep an eye on this page and our Instagram for any event reschedules, and make note of rain plans for certain events below.

Events

Chalk the Walks | Monday, 8/16, 12:00-2:00pm, GT Connector & Sidewalks Across from West Village Lawn

  • Description: It may only be the first week of classes at Tech, but it’s not too early to leave your mark on campus—literally! Come out to the sidewalks next to the West Village and GT Connector lawns to help make campus beautiful while jamming out to some music before the semester picks up. Each attendee will be provided chalk, and we’ll also have snow cones for attendees to enjoy on West Campus and ice cream bars on East Campus.
  • Rain Plan: If this event has to be cancelled due to rain, we’ll push the event back to Wednesday from 12:00-2:00pm—same place, same event, same time, just different dates!

Be sure to come out early—we’ll have Tiffs Treats, Jeni’s ice cream, and more treats, but only while supplies last. After the event, be sure to catch Avenger Endgame at Bobby Dodd Stadium!
    • UPDATE: Due to this week’s Georgia Tech Post Office shipping delays, we’re unable to purchase Jeni’s ice cream for this event. Jeni’s ships with dry ice and needs to be reliably picked up on the same day that it is delivered; because the Post Office is experiencing delays due to a mechanical fire, we’re unable to ensure that our order of Jeni’s ice cream would be made available for pick-up from the Post Office on time. We’ve purchased Tiffs Treats cookies, brownies, bomb pops, and fruit bars for this event, instead.
  • Rain Plan: Keep an eye on our Instagram for live updates! Rain or not, we’ll have lots of free food to distribute, so you might see us riding around on campus in our GEM Cart passing out food at residence halls if the event is cancelled due to rain.

Artlanta | Saturday, 8/21, 12:00-4:00pm, Tech Green

  • Description: Artlanta’s purpose is to expose students to different art mediums found in Atlanta.

Until supplies last!
  • Rain Plan: Meet us in the Exhibition Hall to pick up a to-go bag of craft materials to make decorations anywhere you’d like to!

Whether you’re a contestant on stage with us or an audience member watching the fun happen, you’ll be able to walk away with prizes.

In this workshop we’ll dive into a curated list of the thousands of resources available to all Tech students, focusing on the most important as well as the ones no one ever tells you about. From free printing, to registration tools, to checking out a library book, we’ll set you up for success on campus. Not to mention, we’ll also send you home with a list of even more resources and walkthroughs so you can be prepared and strapped with resources when you need them, and can help your fellow yellow jackets to success along the way.

This is the perfect workshop for students new to Georgia or the city of Atlanta!

Hidden Gems and Secret Spaces on Campus | Wednesday, 8/18, 1:30-2:00pm, Howey Physics L1

Mickey Mouse clocks, bakeries and cafes, nap rooms, foam toilets, cisterns—here’s what they don’t show you on your average campus tour. In this workshop, we’ll discuss the nooks and crannies that students love to study in and the parts of campus beneath your feet and above your head you didn’t know existed. Part fun-fact, part pragmatic introduction to your new favorite secret spot on campus, this is the perfect workshop for students looking to explore Tech’s 400+ acres. (Oh, and speaking of secrets, we’ll also touch on Tech’s oldest and most elusive secret society—the ANAK Society)

If you want to get paid to live on campus, be a part of the second largest student organization on campus, plan and host events, build community in residence halls, help first-year and upperclassman students acclimate to Tech, or experience the magic and craziness of making a system with nearly 9,000 students run, residence life is for you!

Ask some questions, make new friends, and learn about the most important rule for an international student to know: That we international students have each others’ backs!

Surviving Roommates, Communal Showers, and Laundry | Friday, 8/20, 1:30-2:00pm, Howey Physics L1

Let’s be honest: living with other people and sharing amenities can be challenging, especially if this your first time living in a traditional-styled residence hall. In this workshop, we’ll discuss navigating roommate conflict, must-have conversations on everything from masturbation and sex to sleep and room temperature, living on a floor with 40 other college students, taking care of common maintenance issues, and, yes, doing laundry. We’ll also briefly talk about upperclassman apartments and what living on campus looks like after your first year at Tech.
