FASET welcomes and introduces all incoming students and their guests to the Yellow Jacket Community, including new first-year, transfer, international, and exchange students in a one-day program. The one-day program allows students to enroll for their first semester of classes, discuss transitional issues with current students and college staff, and begin to make connections with other incoming students at Georgia Tech.
