Join the biggest tech organization on campus!
Why join a committee?
Joining a committee is a great opportunity to enhance your skill set, grow as an individual, expand your network, and build friendships for life! As part of an ETC committee, you will be responsible for the management of one of our core activities, among a small team.
Your work will be challenging at times, but you will be rewarded with great personal connections and many opportunities to learn and develop.
Why ETC?
Do you want to join a dynamic student organization that continuously inspires its community members and challenges the status quo? Awesome! If you want to help ETC grow and get personal benefits in the process, then look no further. When ETC started four years ago, the founders had the vision to educate students about the technologies that will shape tomorrow. How? They had a get-shit-done attitude.
Since then, we have strongly clung onto this mentality and drive. Thanks to it, we invited James Whittaker (Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft USA) and Bruce Daisley (European Vice President of Twitter) among other inspirational speakers. We’ve also expanded our offering to enable you to realize our mission, Understand & Create Tomorrow, by applying your skills.
