Ezra Stiles College Council (ESCC)

Meetings:  Mondays, 9:00 pm
Location:  Ezra Stiles Fellows Lounge (Entryway J, right next to dining hall and one floor up)

ESCC is the Ezra Stiles College Council, a group of Stilesians that meet once a week to help make Stiles the best residential college community on campus! From planning events for the college to supporting all our Stiles groups (IMs, SAC, the Big Sib program, and more), ESCC is here to make everyone feel heard and part of the herd! In addition to weekly meetings to discuss ways to improve residential college life, ESCC has sponsored college trips and events ranging from escape rooms, trampoline parks, and paintball to trivia nights and viewing parties for the Oscars, the Superbowl, soccer, and more. Attending ESCC meetings is an amazing way to have a say in residential life in Stiles and get more involved with the college. Everyone is welcome, so be sure to stop by a meeting for free food, Stiles pride, and your weekly dose of moose love!
