Class of 2023


The Energy Studies Minor class of 2023 includes 33 students with 15 majors from five colleges/schools (College of Arts & Letters, College of Engineering, College of Science, Mendoza College of Business, and School of Architecture). Each student completed the required 16 credits and participated in a capstone experience. Coursework included surveying technical, financial, ethical, historical, economic, and policy aspects of energy and climate change. As they begin their futures as researchers, analysts, engineers, consultants, architects, and citizens, they join nearly 190 other alumni from the minor working to make the world a better place.
