Current EGSC Student Groups

AMPS is the graduate student association for the Applied Physics and Applied Math (APAM) Department. We throw social events and advocate for APAM graduate students.

The Columbia Entrepreneurship & Venture Society (CEVS) will serve as a platform for Columbia's students, faculty, staff, and alumni to engage in all aspects related to entrepreneurship and venture capital. Furthermore, CEVS will aim to promote a tight network around Columbia’s resources and expand knowledge by learning, connecting and doing.

The Data Science Institute Student Council (DSISC) was originally formed to advocate for the students of DSI. Over the years, it has evolved into a community, working towards improving DSI students’ experience at Columbia. Now, the agenda of the council is multifold: (i) to serve as representatives of DSI students by gauging their needs and addressing them and/or bringing them to the attention of those who can, (ii) encourage a sense of community among the students through social mixers and/or technical events, (iii) support the technical advancement of students by providing necessary resources, (iv) build a stronger and better connected alumni network.

The purpose of ELC is to provide an opportunity for young men and women to enhance the knowledge and skills that will assist them in personal and professional development. A conglomerate of talents from multiple disciplines, the engineering school at Columbia University grooms the technology and engineering leaders of tomorrow. In an institution of students with great potential of leading a technology driven world, it is essential to train these young individuals while at school to become capable of handling the pressures, responsibilities and risks associated with entrepreneurship and leadership.

GEEC's mission is to support the Electrical Engineering(EE) graduate student (M.S. & Ph.D.) experience at the social, academic and professional levels.

The Mechanical Engineering Graduate Association (MEGA) is a student organization within Columbia's Department of Mechanical Engineering. MEGA grew out of a student initiative to create a greater sense of community among the graduate population. MEGA is the first department-level student government recognized by Engineering Graduate Student Council.

The purpose of the Mechanical Engineering Graduate Association is to:

- enrich the graduate student experience through academic, social, community outreach, career & professional development, and health & wellness programming targeted specifically to its members,

- represent the interests of its members with a unified voice to the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the greater Columbia University community,

- communicate information relevant to the interests of its members, and assist the Department of Mechanical Engineering as needed in executing departmental initiatives.

All graduate students in the mechanical engineering department are automatically members of MEGA. In addition, any doctoral student whose PI is a mechanical engineering faculty member is also considered a member of MEGA.

At Columbia Product Managers Club (PMC), we’re shaping the next generation of product leaders, startup founders, and tech strategists. Anchored in Columbia’s engineering and business ecosystem, PMC is where ambitious thinkers across schools come together to build, innovate, and lead.

Our mission is to empower students to drive real-world impact through technology and product innovation. From early-stage ideation to scaling solutions at venture-backed startups and global tech firms, we believe in creating opportunities that accelerate careers and amplify voices. We host dynamic product series, mentorship initiatives, founder-led panels, and recruiting prep to help our members break into the most competitive roles in product, VC, and entrepreneurship.

We collaborate across schools including SEAS, CBS, SIPA, and beyond, creating a community that’s as interdisciplinary as the problems we aim to solve.

Whether you’re looking to build the next unicorn, crack the product interview, or transition into tech from another path—PMC is your launchpad.

Think product. Think bold. Think PMC.

qSTEM is a student organization belonging to Columbia University’s Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS). The purpose of the club is to:

1. Provide queer and allied students of Columbia University (CU) professional, social and educational opportunities.

2. Create a channel of discussion between the administration and faculty of the school and LGBTQ individuals to help make Columbia University a more inclusive and respectful space.

3. Improve the university experience of LGBTQ+ students pursuing engineering and sciences.

4. Provide a safe space for students who identify as LGBTQ+.

5. Spread awareness about queer issues.

6. Create a community for queer professionals.

GrEEEN supports and engages the EEE department along the axes of social activities, volunteer events, and professional development.

GrOCS is a graduate student organization that fosters connection and career growth for Computer Science graduate students through social events, workshops, and professional development opportunities.

We are Neurotech X Columbia, a student-run academic society at Columbia University.

We focus on:

Brain–Computer Interfaces (BCI)
NeuroAI (the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence)
About us
As a community, we aim to connect students and researchers who are passionate about advancing neurotechnology and AI. Stay tuned for our events, talks, and collaborations!

We are a student organization led by graduate students from Columbia Engineering, but we welcome the entire Columbia community. Our members come from diverse undergraduate and graduate schools across the university. While we are recognized as the Columbia chapter of NeurotechX, we operate independently with our own initiatives and activities.

The Plasma Students Association functions to coordinate educational and social activities and events on behalf of students studying and interested in plasma physics/fusion energy at Columbia, and to facilitate outreach on behalf of the Columbia Plasma Physics Laboratory to others. We aim to spread awareness of fusion as an academic subject and practical energy source and to promote diversity in STEM through engagement with historically underserved and underrepresented communities. We also provide a community and forum for Columbia students in the field to interact and have their interests represented in external settings.

Connecting STEM students with those studying law and policy for speaker events, research, and advocacy to representatives on topics at the intersection of science, technology, and policy.

We want to to expose early-career scientists and engineers to opportunities in policy and empower them to apply their technical expertise to decisions that shape the future

The Columbia University Chapter of the Society for Biomaterials (SFB) serves to promote excellence in biomaterials-related research. We bridge the gap between academic research and industry application, empowering the next generation of scientists to lead innovations in the field of biomaterials through mentorship, networking, and scholarly exchange
