ECLA encourages students to be creative and supports their initiatives through student projects that have academic relevance, artistic merit or make a substantial contribution to the social life of the college. Independent projects supported by ECLA have ranged from photo exhibitions, fashion shows, short films and music albums, to the organization of extracurricular activities and the creation of a bicycle park. Various collaborative team projects such as the YEARBOOK, the student magazine - Eclactic, as well as theatrical productions were also funded as part of ECLA’s student project initiative.

Project support decisions are made by the Residential Life Committee, and applications should be sent to the Residential Life Coordinator.
