Engineering Student Council

Every year, the Engineering Student Council is faced with the issue of having direct elections, as opposed to internal elections, for its executive board. However, it is every day when we see who would be the best at various jobs and, given the power of proxy vote that you gave us, elect the best people.

As Columbia engineers, we all want the most qualified and capable people to represent us in our student government. To ensure the best go through, we believe that a system of direct elections would better serve the engineering student body.

After months of deliberation by student council members, Columbia students now have tentative locations for the new Off Campus Flex program and a date for its launch—March 24.
