General Body

The Engineering Student Council (ESC) is structured to represent and support the Columbia Engineering community. The Council is led by the Student Body President and includes five Vice Presidents responsible for specific areas: Policy, Student Life, Finance, Communications, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Additionally, four Class Councils represent each undergraduate year. The ESC also has a variety of Student Representatives who address specific student needs: Technology, Racial Diversity and Inclusivity, First Generation and Low Income, Gender Identity and Sexuality, Disability and Accessibility, Academic Affairs, Student Health and Wellness, Sustainability, Professional Development, International Students, Campus Affairs, and Transfer Students.

Each ESC member actively contributes to one of the five committees: Policy, Finance, Student Life, Communications, and DEI, which collectively work to enhance the student experience through advocacy, events, and community initiatives. This structure ensures a comprehensive approach to student needs, resources, and engagement across Columbia Engineering.
