  <title><![CDATA[OIE launches Freshman Study Abroad Initiative ]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The Office of International Education is reaching out to all freshmen!&nbsp;Through a recent survey of GT undergraduate students, we found that 84% of first-year students say they are very likely to study abroad while at Georgia Tech. We want to help make that&nbsp;a reality, and the key is early planning. To help freshmen get a jump start on exploring GT&#39;s international programs, we are launching a special Freshman Cohort Initiative. First-year students are encouraged to make an online account at&nbsp;<a href="https://gatech.via-trm.com/traveler/users/sign_up">https://gatech.via-trm.com/traveler/users/sign_up</a> to review international program options, sign up for study abroad related&nbsp;events, and receive virtual advising from OIE advisors. We&#39;ll help you figure out which programs will work best for your major, finances, timeline, and goals, and address any concerns you might have about going abroad. We look forward to working with all of you, first-years!&nbsp;</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.  -->
