Dear alumni and friends of EME,
I hope this message finds you well. As we navigate the critical energy transition toward a more sustainable future, the role of undergraduate education has never been more important. Our universities are at the forefront of equipping the next generation with the knowledge and skills necessary to address the complexities of energy
systems, climate change, and sustainable practices.
In light of this transition, we must ensure that our curricula not only emphasize traditional engineering and scientific principles but also integrate interdisciplinary approaches that include policy, economics, and social sciences. This holistic education will empower students to innovate and lead in a rapidly evolving
energy landscape.
Alumni play a vital role in this endeavor. Your experiences and insights can significantly enrich our programs. By engaging with current students through mentorship, guest lectures, and internships, you can provide invaluable real-world perspectives that complement academic learning.
Additionally, your support in fostering partnerships with industry can create pathways for students to gain practical experience, bridging the gap between theory and practice.
We also encourage alumni to contribute to scholarship programs, helping to alleviate financial burdens and ensuring that talented individuals from diverse backgrounds can pursue their education in energy-related fields. By investing in the future of our
students, you help cultivate leaders who will drive innovation and champion sustainable practices.
Together, we can shape a robust educational framework that not only prepares students for careers in energy but also empowers them to make a meaningful impact in their communities and beyond. Thank you for your continued commitment to our University and its mission during this transformative time.
Sincerely,
Eugene Morgan
Associate Teaching Professor
Associate Head of Undergraduate Education
