  <title><![CDATA[OIE welcomes new exchange students with a welcome reception!]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The Office of International Education hosted a welcome reception for its Incoming Exchange students last week. Over 50 students attended (far more than at similar events in past years). In addition to exchange students, at least a dozen GT students in the buddy program “Land at Tech” showed up to support their exchange matches. The event, held January 13<sup>th</sup>, provides newly arrived exchange students from around the world with an opportunity to spend social time together, to meet OIE staff, and degree-seeking GT students. The reception was held in the beautiful Ferst Room of the library, which overlooks campus from its 7<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;floor vantage point.</p>]]></body>

  <!--  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.  -->
