Who are we?
The main objective of this organization is to provide a forum for students, faculty, and staff to share their interest in renewable energy.  We plan (approximately) monthly meetings in which we invite a guest speaker to discuss issues facing renewable energy, with time for discussion following.  The group was founded in the fall semester of 2002 and our academic advisor is Professor Louis Albright, who teaches in the department of Biological and Environmental Engineering (BEE).
