I'm an alumni of the Georgia Institute of Technology. I have extensive knowledge of Chemistry and in particular Polymer chemistry. The other topics I profess knowledge and slight expertise of are: United States Civil War, American Football, Herpetology, Ichthyology, and HyperText Markup Language. I am very familiar with many of the Georgia Tech traditions and in particular the Ramblin' Wreck.

Tier 1: GT HOUSING (Winter 2008)
The goal is to catalog and record all of the basic historical information about all of the dormitories on East Campus that are over 50 years old. Each article will include resident capacity, dorm traditions, and other trivia about each dormitory. Use the Notre Dame housing template for each. Find unique symbols on each building, years of construction, traditions, and other unique information about each building. Add coordinates.
