  <title><![CDATA[First-Year Fall Abroad Program highlighted by Office of the Provost ]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>In this month&rsquo;s Office of the Provost Newsletter, the new First-Year Fall Abroad Program in GT Lorraine was highlighted, recognizing the Nunn School&rsquo;s Dr. Vicki Birchfield for her work in making the program a reality.</p>

<p>&ldquo;This group [iGniTe first-years] also includes our first students in the new First-Year Fall Abroad program at Georgia Tech. After the iGniTe program, these first-year students will spend the fall semester at Georgia Tech-Lorraine. What an amazing experience it will be for them! Enormous thanks to everyone who made this happen, including <strong>Vicki Birchfield</strong>, co-director of the Center for European and Transatlantic Studies and professor in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs; <strong>Steven Girardot</strong>, interim vice provost for Undergraduate Education; <strong>De Morris Walker</strong>, director of Summer and Special Session Initiatives; and many others.&rdquo; &ndash; Steve McLaughlin, Provost and executive Vice President for Academic Affairs</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.  -->
