Please join us for our first ever Women in Sustainability and Energy (WISE) networking lunch.

Attendees will have the opportunity to share a meal with seasoned professionals from across the energy & sustainability industry, including policy, law, consulting, utilities, and advocacy. In addition to a sit-down lunch with industry experts, attendees will have the opportunity for more informal networking with peers over coffee and dessert.

Women and men are welcome to attend this event, which is designed for students, young professionals, and those in the midst of a career change. This is a unique opportunity with limited space; please be sure of your availability before registering. We will not be able to issue refunds. Student IDs will be checked at registration.
