Each summer, FASET welcomes more than 4,000 new students and their guests to Georgia Tech. The program wouldn’t be possible without the FASET Cabinet, a student executive board that plans and implements key parts of FASET and oversees the FASET Leader Staff. Cabinet members are selected in late October and serve through mid-August. It’s a unique opportunity to help build an Institute-wide program dedicated to welcoming new students.
Cabinet Committees
Cabinet is divided into three committees: Information and Logistics, New Student Programming, and Staff Development. Each committee has three members and leads its own projects that contribute to FASET’s success.

Information and Logistics
FASET depends on behind-the-scenes work to run smoothly each summer, and the Information and Logistics committee makes much of that work possible. The committee plans the logistics for class registration and academic advising and sets up and takes down student and guest check-in. It also assembles welcome bags for new students, keeps FASET supplies inventoried and organized, and builds the FASET Leader duty schedules for each session.
New Student Programming
New Student Programming creates the connections that help new students feel part of Georgia Tech before, during, and after their FASET session. The committee plans and delivers some of FASET’s most memorable moments: the Opening Number, a high-energy dance performance that welcomes students and guests; the Traditions skit, which introduces the unique traditions that make Georgia Tech special; and the Resource Fair, which connects new students and guests with campus and community partners. Behind the scenes, the committee leads FASET’s social media presence, including Instagram and other posts, and manages FASET Leader group numbers and name tags for students and guests. It also updates the small group curriculum that guides conversations between FASET Leaders and new students, and it coordinates communication with the Leader Staff through email and a summer GroupMe.
Staff Development
Staff Development prepares the FASET Leader Staff to serve new students and their guests. Working from a curriculum set by FASET professional staff, committee members collaborate to create and deliver Leader trainings. The committee also leads FASET Leader recruitment, including flyers, interview questions, and interview space and logistics. It assigns Leaders to Cab Teams and hosts social events that build community among Leaders throughout the fall, spring, and summer.
