EAP Seminar
Last month we finished our first EAP seminar on "Professional Skills in Energy Analysis and Policy". A highlight were real and virtual visits from EAP alums and friends who described their career paths. Many thanks to all involved! One student said: "Great course. Love the theme this semester on professional skills. This is a very helpful course with knowledge that is otherwise very difficult to gain."

Coming Soon:
2nd Annual EAP Trip to Chicago
On March 15-16, we will be taking a group of 15 students to our second annual EAP Trip to Chicago! This will be a two-day, all-expense-paid trip. We’ll be taking the group to meet with leading energy organizations and to explore the city. Last year was the first year we conducted this trip, and 100% of student attendees ranked it as “Excellent”! We hope this year is even better!
On the agenda are visits with: Elevate Energy, BP, Clean Energy Trust and SCB Group. We will be hosting a reception on the evening of March 15, which we hope those of you who are in Chicago can attend. Follow us on social media for updates about the trip and reception. Many thanks to Martha Goodell of Enigami Partners and Kim Frasso of SCB for coordinating this event and co-sponsoring!
