Appointed members will be students who demonstrate potential as future leaders but have not yet had a chance to participate in formal, established leadership pathways. As such, the ELABs augment – but do not replace - existing student shared governance organizations (e.g., SGA executive, legislative or legal branches) and other student committees and boards that are advised or convened by administrative units (including colleges, schools, departments, and divisions) across the Institute (e.g., Undergraduate Education Student Advisory Board, Residence Hall Association, Alumni Association Student Ambassadors), to help amplify student voices and perspectives.  

 Each ELAB will meet on a monthly the Fall and Spring semesters to participate in the following activities:

1. Receive current information about available student services, support resources, programs to promote health/wellness, engagement activities, and other involvement opportunities across GT;
2. Meet and consult with a variety of Georgia Tech administrators across cabinet areas, colleges, schools, departments, and divisions;
3. Provide input on existing and emerging policies, procedures, and programs to ensure that student perspectives and experiences inform their development, review, and revision;
4. Offer feedback, ideas, and recommendations to enhance student engagement and cultivate well-being at all stages of the academic journey – from first-time college student to final-year doctoral candidate; and
5. Make suggestions on how best to communicate with students, in a timely manner, recognizing their diverse needs and learning styles.

Should there be interest among student members, we may also host an annual professional development symposium for members to learn and network with each other.
