  <title><![CDATA[Leadership and Project Updates from Housing & Residence Life]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Over the past few weeks I have had several productive conversations with various students and student groups. I want to thank each of those people for making time to talk with me and share your concerns. One of the most prevalent concerns was a lack of transparency. In an effort to offer more clarity and insight into our work to improve the processes and environments that impact our students, I am going to post a weekly update on our website.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>Below are some of the things we are working on with dates for estimated time of delivery:</p>

<p><strong>June 2020</strong>: Contracting extra help to close all current and overdue workorders</p>

<p><strong>July 2020</strong>: Conducting a complete Housing Master Plan</p>

<p><strong>September 2020</strong>: Conducting a comprehensive renovation plan for East Campus Housing</p>

<p><strong>Fall 2020</strong>: Implementing a student facing interface for housing maintenance work requests</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>I will continue to give weekly updates on these and other initiatives with more details. If you have further suggestions or questions, please email me at campusservices@gatech.edu.</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.  -->
