About ECC
Education College Council (ECC) is an umbrella organization that encompasses all of the College of Education student organizations. ECC is made-up of four executive members, the President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. We encourage all education majors to get involved in the events ECC facilitates during the academic year. We strive to bring all students of the college together and provide them with opportunities to grow professionally within the field of education both in the COE and the local Alachua County community. All College of Education organizations may attend our general body meetings to stay up-to-date with events, provide notice of your events, and further collaborate with ECC.
If you are interested in collaborating with the ECC to promote an event on campus, please contact us at ecc@coe.ufl.edu.
