Hello Yellow Jacket Families!
We hope you enjoy this video in our Welcome Wreck: Georgia Tech 101 Summer Series, featuring: Interim Director of New Student and Transition Programs, James E. Allen Jr.
In this video, James helps us understand how best to prepare for Student/Parent and Guest FASET Orientation, Wreck Camp Extended Orientation, First-Year Leadership Organizations, and Student Transition during their time here at Georgia Tech.
FASET Orientation - https://transitionprograms.gatech.edu/faset-orientation/program-and-fees
- To sign up for a FASET date, please go to your FASET portal and sign up for a date that is available to you. If you cannot attend the dates listed on your FASET portal, register for one of the dates, and feel free to submit a change of session request also through your FASET portal.
- All students prior to your FASET session you should receive a pre-communication email that gives you access to a FASET Orientation Canvas page where everything you need to be successful during your FASET day is. It is important to note, if you registered a guest for your FASET experience, their guest canvas page link will also be in your pre-communication email.
Wreck Camp Extended Orientation - https://transitionprograms.gatech.edu/wreck-camp/program-and-fees
- Wreck Camp is an extended orientation experience that brings together new and current students to jumpstart their college experience in a fun summer camp setting.
- During your time at Wreck Camp, you will be in small groups led by two upperclassmen student leaders, color-themed teams, and the overall large camp. While having a great time in the activities, this experience allows you to help make your transition to Tech easier by creating new bonds and friendships with a diverse group of students before ever arriving on campus.
You can choose from two options:
- Wreck Camp ATL - An on-campus Wreck Camp experience for all first-year students.
- Wreck Camp Odyssey - An off-campus Wreck Camp experience for all first-year students.
Connect First Year Leadership Organization - https://transitionprograms.gatech.edu/leadership-opportunities/connect
- Connect is a First-Year Leadership Organization designed to support student transitions into Georgia Tech. As a part of our close-knit community, Connectors will gain valuable leadership skills through event planning and team-building activities that facilitate strong connections.
