Engineering Student Leadership Council
As guided by its by-laws and constitution, the purpose of the ESLC is to coordinate selected activities common to all College of Engineering student organizations, to promote professional and academic goals for the benefit of all College of Engineering students, and to provide a forum for communications between College of Engineering administration and the students.
The ESLC's organization chart is unlike most organizations as its voting membership consists of the President of engineering organizations and honor societies from the College’s seven departments. The vision of creating interdependence between its student organizations is facilitated by the following equally powered chairpersons.
