Women in Clean Energy Conference
Learn more
The Women in Clean Energy Conference is an annual event held by students that allow women from across the nation to share stories and engage in conversation about energy equity and clean energy. The conference includes an in-person networking event for students to meet women from companies in the Midwest energy industry and learn more about their career paths and challenges of being a female leader in the engineering industry. There are also opportunities for students to learn more about on-campus initiatives that can connect them more with the world of energy.
