  <title><![CDATA[Giving Students a Home for the Holidays ]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The holidays can be stressful, especially for many international and out-of-state students who are unable to travel to their homes. But Georgia Tech&rsquo;s Student Government Association (SGA) has a solution.</p>

<p>The SGA facilitates a program called Home for the Holidays, where Georgia families may volunteer to host a student for a Thanksgiving meal. Host families and students come together to celebrate and enjoy the holiday with their fellow Yellow Jackets.</p>

<p>If you would like to host a student, or if you are a student in need of a host for Thanksgiving, click <a href="https://gatech.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_enWb7Whj55kwwZL">here</a>. The application deadline is Nov. 15. If you have questions, email undergraduate SGA&rsquo;s chief of staff, Alice Francis, at <a href="mailto:acfrancis@gatech.edu">acfrancis@gatech.edu</a>.</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.  -->
