<p>The TRT is a volunteer student group made up of current Georgia Tech transfer students who work closely with the Office of Undergraduate Admission. TRT members participate in information sessions for prospective transfer students by speaking and sharing their experiences. They also participate in fundraising events on campus and attend biweekly meetings.

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
