On behalf of the Engineering Graduate Community Council, I am honored to welcome new and returning graduate students to the college. EGCC is a student-led council representing graduate members within the College of Engineering. Our mission is to promote interdisciplinary research collaboration, strengthen academic and career development, and create opportunities that connect students, faculty, and staff.
EGCC hosts major annual events including the Engineering Graduate Research Conference and the Engineering 3‑Minute Thesis (E3MT) competition, where students communicate their research to broad audiences. We also organize professional workshops, sustainability and safety awareness sessions, career panels supporting the transition from academia to industry, and community networking mixers.
We work closely with the Dean’s Office and share timely updates from the Graduate Student Association to keep graduate members informed. To support community wellbeing, EGCC maintains the Graduate Student Lounge in Room 3C70, Engineering Building within the University of Saskatchewan campus, providing space for lunch, discussion, and collaboration.
We encourage students to engage through EGCC volunteer leadership and departmental Discipline Representative roles in the Graduate Student Association council for professional growth and community impact. We look forward to a year of innovation, collaboration, and success.
Once again, welcome to a year of innovation, collaboration, and success. We look forward to supporting your journey.

Sincerely,
