Join ND Energy to learn about the past, present, and future of the energy landscape on the Notre Dame campus. Paul Kempf, Assistant VP of Utilities and Maintenance, will discuss the work he has overseen in the addition of hydroelectric and solar power, along with the installation of thousands of geothermal wells and building renovation projects to help meet that goal.

This event counts toward the dorm Sustainability Cup competition sponsored by the Student Government's Department of Sustainability.

He's been in charge of that department for the past 27 years. Kempf has taken the lead in the University's aspiration to reduce its carbon footprint by 65% in the next five years.
