The Engineering Student Council Partnership Network was created in Fall 2005 to facilitate collaboration between engineering-related student groups, as well as provide support for these groups from the ESC to complement existing support from the various governing boards (ABC, SGB, CI, CSGB, IGC). There is currently an effort to revive the ESC Partnership Network, beginning with a compilation of resources to assist group leaders, and potentially a reception or other large meeting with all groups participating in the network.
The ESC is currently seeking input from engineering student groups regarding what resources would be most useful in the successful operation and management of these clubs. All suggestions and interested groups should contact the ESC Vice President, Intergroup, Dan Wong.
