Create an atmosphere for ECCB graduate students to participate in social, academic, and professional pursuits.
Provide and coordinate professional development opportunities that will benefit graduate students in ECCB, including but not limited to, fundraising for travel grants, maintaining a supportive network of alumni, and sharing resources regarding conferences, workshops, and courses.
