Boston College Energy and Environment Alumni Network was formed to expand professional networks in energy and the environment industries (including government, business, finance, nonprofit, education, and research); serve as a resource for BC alumni, students, faculty and administration; and assist alumni in keeping abreast of developments in these rapidly expanding fields. The BC Energy & Environment Council’s main goals are:
- Provide networking and career development opportunities for BC alumni in related industries.
- Serve as a resource for the Boston College community alumni interested in Energy and the Environment topics.
