Events

Energy Education Series - We plan to have representatives from different companies in the energy industry come to give an explanation of how their business fits into the overall energy value chain and the different career paths one can pursue in that type of company. This is intended to be a rather informal way for companies and students to connect. Also, this is provides a forum for students to share their experiences with their peers. We usually provide some food and drinks at these events.

Energy Speaker Series - We plan to have senior level industry speakers give their perspective on the industry and broader economic and technological developments and trends. The format of these meetings usually consists of a speaker with prepared slides or a particular topic of interest. Afterwards, the students are encouraged to engage with the speaker through a 15-20 minute follow up question and answer session relevant to the speakers topic or expertise.

Energy Education Information – The Energy Club has access to tremendous amounts of industry reports and data that we make available on the club's website.

Networking Events – Often there are many opportunities that the Energy Club is involved in that expose students to alumni and other high level influential people in the energy industry.

Energy Treks - We take a field trip to an operating location or facility to examine company's business on a first hand basis such as an energy trading floor, a drilling rig, or a manufacturing facility.

Extra Learning Opportunities – We offer discounted courses on finance/energy related classes such as Wall Street Prep/Breaking Into Wall Street/Paradigm Energy Training, that are hosted by the Energy Club and/or the Finance Club. These courses are usually weekend courses or self paced online courses and designed to be intensive style training for financial modeling or energy trading, etc.

Interview Prep – These are designed as mock interviews to help you get a better understanding of the types of questions you will be asked in an energy industry interview.
