  <title><![CDATA[Fall 2019 Mini-Mester Pilot Program]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>In Fall 2019, SGA&rsquo;s Academic Affairs board will launch the Mini-Mesters pilot program. Mini-Mesters are 1 credit hour, 5-week long course offerings that will occur during the normal academic semester with the goal of introducing students to non-traditional classroom material.</p>

<p>Students will be able to explore different passions and interests outside of their major to gain a greater breadth of knowledge across academic disciplines. With the goal of making Tech&rsquo;s curriculum more personalizable, the semester will be broken up into three terms of Mini-Mesters, allowing students to sign up for the one(s) they want without overloading their schedule. Registration for Mini-Mesters is now open!</p>

<p>Courses and additional information on the pilot courses can be found at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.sga.gatech.edu/ug/?q=fall-2019-mini-mesters" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.sga.gatech.edu/ug/?q=fall-2019-mini-mesters</a>.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never

         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
