About FAB

First-Year Activities Board, or FAB, was founded in 2002. It is a Department of Housing student organization that is funded through resident student activity fees. It is also recognized as a chartered student organization through the Office of Leadership and Civic Engagement. 

We strive to build leadership in our members through planning and promoting social events and services that are geared towards creating a shared first year experience. Our team of professionals and student executive leaders emphasize teamwork, communication skills, budget management, planning, and marketing techniques to engage the first year students at Georgia Tech. 

Although the name First-Year Activities Board implies only a devotion to the first year class. FAB's impact on campus reaches far beyond the First-Year Experience Program. With 30 bright, enthusiastic, first year students and a budget of $10,000 provided by the Department of Housing First-Year Experience Program, FAB sets out to make Georgia Tech a better place. Members are developed into campus leaders through planning successful events, interacting in a teamwork environment, and collaborating with other organizations. They take the leadership skills gained in FAB and apply them to a diverse range of student organizations throughout the rest of their college careers, leaving behind a lasting impact that reaches far beyond First-Year Experience.
