Speckled with students from all parts of the Hispanic culture, the Sixth Annual Latino Welcome Weekend, hosted by the Office of Hispanic Initiatives and Tech's Hispanic/Latino organizations, welcomed and entertained well over 400 people at the Skiles Building on Friday, Aug. 27, and at the patio of the Campus Recreation Center (CRC) on Saturday, Aug. 28.

So for the style-conscious and the trend-setters out there, fear no more. GaCityStyle is a rising, fashion and arts inspired blog that can now be the answers to those morning debates.
