OUR GOALS
Social
Every Friday, EGSC hosts a social on E-Quad as a chance for students to mingle and unwind at the end of the week. Additionally, we host a number of events throughout the year for Pratt students to mingle and connect through various events, such as food crawls, movie nights, and art competitions.
Community Service
EGSC is committed to engaging the Durham community and reaching out through various community service projects, such as Habitat for Humanity, and others.
Collaborations
The goal of EGSC is to create a community where students from all disciplines can collaborate on synergistic projects on all levels. We are working with the Medical School, MedX, Graduate Professional Student Council, and many more.
Diversity
Our goal is to be inclusive of all Pratt graduate students from different backgrounds and interests. Throughout the year, we sponsor and host a number of events that celebrate the diversity of our students.
