  <title><![CDATA[Undergraduates Encouraged to Run for SGA ]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Election applications for seats in the Student Government Association&rsquo;s (SGA) Undergraduate House of Representatives (UHR) have been extended to Saturday, March 14. ⁠</p>

<p>Elected representatives are essential players in community change &mdash; including at the college level &mdash; and students are encouraged to consider running for a position within SGA.</p>

<p>Seats are available to represent your class or your specific academic unit in the legislative branch, and members are elected by their constituency. Undergraduates can also apply to represent special constituencies, such as international students, student-athletes, transfer students, and members-at-large who represent the entire student body. ⁠</p>

<p>⁠&ldquo;As a member of UHR, you help allocate almost $2 million in Student Activity Fee funds to student organizations, vote on resolutions that embody the student opinion, and participate in discussions shaping the future of campus and enriching the student body experience,&rdquo; said Jackson Caruso, SGA vice president of communications. &nbsp;⁠</p>

<p>⁠If you have any questions, contact the SGA Elections Committee at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:elections.gatech@gmail.com" target="_blank">elections.gatech@gmail.com</a>. ⁠</p>

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