  <body><![CDATA[<p>As a first-year student, BME major Ben Warstler&nbsp;did undergraduate research, worked at WREK Radio, participated in the Grand Challenges program, and worked as a DJ on the side.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Warstler, who is&nbsp;from&nbsp;in Cincinnati and has also lived in Arkansas, North Carolina, and Switzerland, got a crash course in the ups and downs of Georgia Tech last year. He wanted to share what he learned with prospective and incoming students so they don&rsquo;t overlook Tech&rsquo;s wealth of opportunities or invaluable support system.</p>

  <!--  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.  -->
