In EGL, community isn’t a byproduct — it’s the foundation.
In EGL, community isn’t a byproduct — it’s the foundation.
Whether through mentorship, social events, or shared adventures, EGL students create lasting bonds that extend well beyond graduation.
EGL as a program includes many components—our Topics in Leadership series, the Ross School of Business focus area, the International Minor for Engineers, and the Master’s degree. While the academic path is rigorous, what truly defines EGL is the culture of support students build with one another.
Our Internal Vice President and Membership Chair lead efforts to strengthen this community each year through events and programs that are often partially or fully subsidized by the EGL Honor Society.
General Body Meetings (GBMs)
General Body Meetings (GBMs)
Each month, all members gather for our General Body Meeting—usually held in a Ross classroom. GBMs feature dinner, society updates, and a fun community-building activity.
In the past, the activities have included talent show, game nights, an alumni panel, EGOlympics, and scavenger hunts.
