Heavier traffic and congested paths and roadways will likely result and continue into Friday. Move-in activities will progress throughout the weekend, with upperclassmen and graduate students arriving Saturday and Sunday. Watch for new students and their families as you make your way both in vehicles and on foot, leaving yourself a few extra minutes of travel time as you traverse campus. More importantly, if you see folks looking lost, take a moment to see if they need help getting somewhere and welcome them to Georgia Tech.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EOther campus activity this week\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs students move in, \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/newsroom\/release.html?nid=143471\u0022\u003Efilming for \u201cThe Internship\u201d\u003C\/a\u003E continues in the center of campus and will wrap up at the end of the week.
