  <title><![CDATA[Student Government Seeks to Fill Undergraduate, Graduate Positions]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Students who want to have a direct effect on campus life and&nbsp;help clubs get funding for events they host throughout the year should apply to various positions in the <strong><a href="http://sga.gatech.edu/">Student Government Association</a></strong> (SGA).</p>

<p>The Undergraduate House of Representatives has open seats available for students in the Schools of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, History and Sociology, and Architecture. Any student, regardless of major, who has completed at least 12 hours of coursework at Georgia Tech can also apply to member-at-large seats.</p>

<p><a href="https://goo.gl/forms/a72n14YmL2RL4HeU2"><strong>Apply online</strong></a> by Friday, Sept. 1, for member-at-large seats. School representative seats will remain open until filled.</p>

<p>For more information, visit sga.gatech.edu or <a href="mailto:jrdmetzger@gatech.edu"><strong>contact Jared Metzger</strong></a>, undergraduate speaker of the House.</p>

<p>The Graduate Student Senate (GSS) is also seeking new members to serve as a critical part of the Graduate Student Government Association. Senators engage with their departments, determine where the student activity fee goes, and develop their own initiatives that can receive support from the broader institution. For more information, read <strong><a href="http://sga.gatech.edu/g/senate/elections/">here</a></strong>.</p>

<p>Sign up to run to represent your department <strong><a href="https://goo.gl/forms/vdSudOYTe0km9LyB3">here</a></strong>&nbsp;by Wednesday, Aug. 30, at 11:59 p.m. Many departments have multiple representatives, so all are encouraged to apply.</p>

<p>Elections will be held from&nbsp;Thursday, Aug. 30, to Sunday, Sept.&nbsp;3.&nbsp;New Senators will be announced on Monday, Sept. 4.</p>

  <!--  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.  -->
