Dartmouth Energy Week Highlights Collaboration, Connection, and Innovation

Members of the Dartmouth energy community connected, collaborated, and created during our first Energy Week in October. The week included receptions, dinners, the bi-annual meeting of the Irving Institute Advisory Board, a special session of TuckLAB: Energy, the Dartmouth Faculty Symposium on Climate, Energy and Society, the final round of the Tuck Renewable Energy Finance Challenge, and the inaugural Dartmouth Energy Alliance Energy Hackathon. Here are some images from the week.
