Are you ready for the Week of Welcome at Georgia Tech?
Georgia Tech invites all new students to join us the week before classes start on Monday, August 11 through Sunday, August 17 for Week of Welcome. Week of Welcome provides our new student community a stress-free transition to college and an opportunity to build a network of support, connection, and community before the first day of classes. Follow this year’s fun on Instagram and Facebook!
All Week of Welcome activities, as well as maps, resources, and other helpful items, will be available later this summer through Guidebook.
Connect to Community
This week will be filled with opportunities to meet and connect with your fellow Yellow Jackets. Look for nightly social events like the Yellow Jacket MegaMixer, dance party, outdoor movie night, and more.
Explore Campus & Resources
This is the perfect time to get to know our beautiful campus and all the helpful resources we have to offer. Plan to attend workshops from student groups and campus departments on time management, nutrition, American football, robots and more. Make time for the self-guided traditions tour that guides you to the most notable places at Georgia Tech. Beyond campus, there will be shuttles to nearby stores and Atlanta points of interest to help you, further explore and find what you need.
A Focus on Student Community Building
Week of Welcome events give students a chance to build strong connections with friends and community, so they are open only to students. Visit the Parent & Guest FASET Canvas page here for more details on the parent-friendly events.
Get Involved in Welcoming our Students
We want to make this year’s Week of Welcome the most exciting and buzzworthy yet – we need YOU to make that happen! Members of student organizations and campus departments are invited to be a part of the welcome efforts through workshops or events they put on, or by volunteering for some of the week’s larger events like move-in.
We appreciate all of our partners for being a part of this exciting welcome effort. For questions about your event or your Guidebook listing, email weekofwelcome@gatech.edu.
