Election results are in!! Congratulations to the new 2021/22 Executive Team! We wish you the best of luck for the following academic year!

The ESSCO Academic Working Group is researching strategies that students can implement to achieve a high academic standing in their courses. Our goal is to discover the most effective ways students use to achieve academic success and empower all students by making this information accessible to everyone. Every individual to fill out our research survey (https://bit.ly/AcademicKSFs) has the opportunity to be emailed the final report once it is complete in April and be entered in a raffle for one of two $20 Tim Hortons gift cards. The deadline for responses is April 4th. If you are interested in our previous work, feel free to check out our report on Engineering Professors’ Teaching Quality here: http://bit.ly/ETQReport. Thank you for helping us improve the engineering academic experience for all students in Ontario
