  <title><![CDATA[Conversation Partners! Promoting Language Learning]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The Conversation Partner Program provides a great opportunity to practice speaking the language you are studying, meet people from different cultures, and strengthen your resume through volunteer work. It&#39;s an online system that serves as a tool to meet somebody on campus and develop a friendship, with the goal of hopefully meeting a speaker with whom you can do a language exchange. The Language Cafe is a great place to meet your conversation partner and begin your global journey by exploring culture through conversation. For more information, contact Adria Motiwalla at <strong><a href="mailto:adria.motiwalla@pe.gatech.edu">adria.motiwalla@pe.gatech.edu</a></strong>.</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.  -->
