Founded in Spring 2019, the ECSE graduate student council is invested in improving the graduate student experience in our department. Notable undertakings of the council include planning and overseeing the renovation of the Flip-Flop lounge and organizing mixers to promote interactions between graduate students with different research interests. The council regularly organizes discussion sessions in each of the six core research areas in our department to assist first and second-year doctoral candidates in preparation for the research qualifying exam (RQE).
