Industrial Environmental Management and Energy (IEME) Student Interest Group
The Industrial Environmental Management and Energy (IEME) Student Interest Group attracts students from the private, public, and nonprofit sectors who are interested in working with industry to improve environmental quality. The IEME SIG represents a variety of interests, including environmental management, energy, climate, change, transportation, finance, and corporate social responsibility.
Each year, IEME organizes social events, field trips, an alumni panel event and a spring semester lecture series. In 2005, among others, Bill Malloch, Head of Footwear Sustainability at Nike, Quayle Hodek, CEO of Renewable Choice, and Susan Wood, Director of Sales and Marketing for AgCert, all spoke at IEME SIG sponsored events. In 2004, the spring lecture series hosted Richard Sandor, Founder of the Chicago Climate Exchange, and John Elter of Plug Power, a New York-based fuel cell company. Individuals from Disney, ENEL, The Natural Step, Environment Northeast, Connecticut Department of Energy, and the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund also spoke to the IEME SIG in 2003–04. The annual alumni panel event bring former FES IEM'ers back to New Haven to share their experiences and provide a valuable networking opportunity. In addition, since its inception over a decade ago, the IEME SIG annually publishes a resume book of its members and distributees it to a wide variety of relevant organizations. Finally, IEME students work closely together, inside and outside the classroom, sharing interests, inSIGhts, and lots of pizza.
