  <title><![CDATA[Annual Traditions Night Postponed Until Spring 2021]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Georgia Tech&rsquo;s annual Traditions Night, or T-Night, is usually celebrated at the end of the first week of classes. This year&rsquo;s event won&rsquo;t be taking place until Spring 2021.</p>

<p>T-Night consists of a festival, games, food, and presentations on Georgia Tech traditions. The event typically draws about 6,000 students and faculty members, though 8,000 were projected to attend this fall.</p>

<p>&quot;After careful consideration of public health advisories and the current condition of the Covid-19 pandemic in Georgia, the Ramblin&rsquo; Reck Club has decided it is in the best interest of our Yellow Jacket family to postpone Traditions Night to the spring semester,&rdquo; said Jack Crawford, the Reck Club&rsquo;s T-Night committee chair. &ldquo;The best part of T-Night is learning about and celebrating Georgia Tech&rsquo;s traditions with thousands of other students, and we want to preserve that experience by delaying it until we can all be together again.&rdquo;</p>

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
