  <title><![CDATA[Skanda Prasad Appointed as New Graduate SGA President]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>I&rsquo;m currently a third year PhD student in Electrical Engineering. I&rsquo;m originally from Bangalore, India. My current research area is Radar Signal Processing. Prior to that, I completed by BE in Electronics and Computer Engineering from the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) in 2011, and after working for a few years, I moved to Atlanta for Grad School in 2014. I joined the Graduate SGA Senate in Spring 2015, and was appointed as Grad SGA Vice President of Graduate Life last Fall.</p>

<p>I&rsquo;m very excited about the serving Graduate Students through Grad SGA. International Students form a significant portion of the graduate student body at Tech. Advocating for them is a big part of our plans for Grad SGA.</p>

<p>Skanda Prasad</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.  -->
