  <title><![CDATA[SGA Applications Now Open]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Applications to be an undergraduate SGA representative or president for next year are now open.&nbsp;Elected representatives are essential players in community change &mdash; including at the college level. This month, students are encouraged to consider running for a position within the Student Government Association (SGA), which has opened applications for both its Undergraduate House of Representatives (UHR) and its presidential ticket.</p>

<p>UHR is made up of around 50 members representing each school and class level at Georgia Tech, as well as cohorts such as co-op and transfer students. They are tasked with attending weekly UHR meetings and representing their constituents &mdash; whether it&rsquo;s from their major or their class &mdash; within SGA processes and responsibilities.</p>

<p>That includes passing bills that fund student activities across campus &mdash; SGA distributes a budget of around $3.5 million funded by the Student Activity Fee &mdash; ranging from large-scale events to one-off endeavors, all of which are part of campus life for Tech students.</p>

<p>More information can be found at sga.gatech.edu.&nbsp;</p>

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
