Third Annual Energy Symposium
21 April 2008
The Rutgers Energy Institute will hold its Third Annual Energy Symposium on 21 April 2008
Time: 8:30 am to 4:30 pm
Location:Fiber Optics Auditorium, Busch Campus
The past two symposia provided faculty, students, and staff with the opportunity to learn about the new methods, processes, and initiatives being developed by energy thinkers at Rutgers and in New Jersey. This year's event will also announce the winners of the REI Contest for Capping Carbon Emissions, an energy contest for Rutgers New Brunswick undergraduate students.
Free online registration is required to assure sufficient food and beverages, and to prepare name tags.
