With all the buzz about renewable energy, you may wonder what constitutes a solar panel and how many are needed for each installation.  Professor Meldrum, who teaches the Alternative Energy Enterprise class at Michigan Tech, will present highlights from his class at our Forum.  Students from all disciplines study solar, geothermal, wind, fuel cell, and other forms of alternative energy and energy efficiency.  Please join us at our Forum and stay afterward for lively conversations with Professor Meldrum and members of the Fellowship.

A Michigan Tech administrator and professor, Jay Meldrum is the Director of the Keweenaw Research Center, the Executive Director of Sustainability, and teaches the Alternative Energy Enterprise class on Campus.

In the summer of 2017, Meldrum took on an additional appointment as the Executive Director of Sustainability at Michigan Tech.  Current activities include running a Sustainability Demonstration House where students live and explore ways to live more sustainably.  The house is powered by a nearby solar panel array and students look for practical ways to recycle, compost, conserve water, grow food indoors over the winter with an Aquaponics system, and monitor their energy consumption.
