Mission of ESG:
The mission of Engineering Student Government (ESG) is to represent the engineering student body in all matters related to the Pratt School of Engineering. We act as a conduit between the administration and students, provide support to engineering clubs and societies, and work to create a social outlet for engineers throughout the academic year.
