Help out new students and share everything that is great about the liberal arts at Tech. Applications to join the 2016 FASET Leader staff are now open. Attend the information session to learn more about the program and how to apply.  

A whole new group of HTS and Ivan Allen College students will be joining us this summer and fall, and we need help orienting them!

Are you interested in being a FASET leader? Apply at http://nssp.gatech.edu/content/766/become-a-leader! 
FASET is an acronym for "Familiarization and Adaptation to the Surroundings and Environs of Tech," an orientation program for new students and their parents, families, and guests. It is the first step in making a successful transition to Tech. Each freshman FASET Orientation session lasts 2-days, and several sessions are held on dates throughout the summer. Students stay overnight in a residence hall, and parents/guests have the option of arranging a hotel room at a variety of hotels that offer special rates for FASET participants. 

During orientation, students will receive academic advisement, register for their first semester courses, and complete other important business. In addition, new students and their parents and guests will hear presentations from various campus services, student organizations, and institute departments on a variety of academic, business and social components. Most importantly, students, parents, and guests will have an opportunity to meet with faculty, staff, administrators, and current students as well as fellow incoming students and guests.

Please see the below and attached for information submitted by departments/majors on major restrictions and course information. This information has been submitted to assist with FASET Library Cluster Registration. 

Are you planning on being in Atlanta for the summer? Would you like to make this summer one of the best summers you've ever had? Would you like to make about a hundred great friends, gain an invaluable leadership experience, and serve as a guide for new students? 

If you answered yes to any of these questions, APPLY TO BE A FASET LEADER!   We need HTS and Ivan Allen College students in these roles to show them just how cool we are!

Being a FASET Orientation Leader is a great opportunity for any student at Tech! No previous experience is required, and any undergraduate student may apply. You could be one of the 85 students chosen as leaders that share a strong passion for Georgia Tech and want to share it with incoming Wrecks! Leader applications can be found at www.faset.gatech.edu. 

To apply, fill out the application, print 3 copies of your application, and hand them in to the FASET Office (Smithgall Student Services (Flag) Building, Suite 141) no later than 4pm on Friday, March 1st.

If you would like to know more, FASET Leader Information Sessions will occur at the following dates/times:

• Tuesday, 2/19, 11am-12pm in IC 111

Are you available on Friday, June 22nd to help out HTS?  New freshmen students will be on campus for FASET, and we need a volunteer who can help with the advising session.  There will be five new HTS majors and one Undecided Ivan Allen College major, all of whom will be starting classes in the late summer session.  You don't need to be an "expert" on HTS or Georgia Tech, just be available to make suggestions and help students understand the registration process.  If you're available on Friday from 11.30 AM - 12.30 PM, please email Dr. D'Unger ASAP, and thanks!

FASET Orientation for the incoming students of 2012 is just around the corner. We are seeking applicants for the team of 85 FASET Leaders. Applications are available on the FASET website (www.faset.gatech.edu). If you believe you are or know a student who would make an excellent addition to the FASET staff, please send us the name, and we will personally invite him or her to apply.

Applications are due Wednesday, February 29th at 4pm in the New Student and Sophomore Programs Office, Flag Building, Suite 141.

Of the ten students serving on the cabinet, a record FOUR are from Ivan Allen College, including Catherine McCartney from HTS (bottom row, far right in the photo).

These students will work together to assist with the coordinating and planning of the FASET sessions this Summer and Fall.  

Congratulations Catherine!

The summer FASET orientations for incoming freshmen at Georgia Tech are approaching fast: the first is on June 25!   We want, as always, to include current students as much as possible to help us with the Ivan Allen College orientation. We will need your support with presentation, facilitation, and assisting major advisors with registration. New freshmen and their parents are usually very enthusiastic and full of questions!  FASET is a great way to help support and represent your major.

If you are interested in getting involved and representing your school and major, please email me to volunteer at kelsaesser3@gatech.edu. Orientation lasts typically from 9:30AM to 1PM. Please include the days and times that you are available to volunteer and a phone number where you can best be reached. If you expect to help out during the orientations, please make sure you contact me so that we can make duty assignments and assess how much help we have and will need.

Following are the dates for FASET:
June 25, July 12, July 16, July 26, July 30, August 13, August 18

Again, the first orientation will be on June 25. Please email me as soon as possible if you can help out during that day. Thank you for your continued interest in supporting Ivan Allen College!

Thank you,
