  <title><![CDATA[Applications Open for Campus Tour Guides]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Georgia Tech is accepting applications for campus tour guides, current students who volunteer to give prospective students and their families an informative and engaging visit around campus. <a href="https://admission.gatech.edu/gttours/apply">Applications for Fall 2021 guides</a> will close at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 29.</p>

<p>Being a campus tour guide allows students to develop or refine their communication skills, as well as meet other enthusiastic students. Thirty-five slots are available.</p>

<p>For prospective students, a campus visit helps them get a feel for whether the Institute is a good fit.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Not only does a visit provide a more in-depth look, but students can also learn more and connect virtually as well,&rdquo; said Tera McDonald, assistant director for Campus Visits in Undergraduate Admission. &ldquo;In-person and virtual tours provide students the opportunity to connect with current students and faculty and learn more about the campus support and environment.&rdquo;</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.  -->
