Every year we organise various events catering to our students' social needs! Attending our social events will only lead to great memories and friends! Our events include coffee houses, Blues Pubs, end-of semester banquets, trivia nights and apartment crawls!
[[Academic forum]] is a great place to voice your concerns, suggest improvements, and ask questions about your courses, curriculum, and workloads. ECSESS hosts the academic forum near the end of the Fall and Winter semesters.👩🎓
The academic forum is another way that you can anonymously provide feedback that will be documented and relayed to the professors and academic advisors. An academic report is drafted by your VP academic and submitted to both the [https://www.mcgill.ca/ece/ department ] and the [[VP Academic|VP Academic of the EUS]]. The comments noted here often affect how the curriculum is formed in the future, as well as cause change to class organisation and workloads.
In attendance will be your Department Chair and Associate Chairs, as well as the Undergraduate Program Manager; sometimes professors will sit in on the forum too. This is a great opportunity not only to have your voice heard, but to hear how your peers are doing as well.
