From the Daily Texan, Yijiao Zhuang
UT is taking a step toward solving some of the most pressing energy-related issues with the formation of the Energy Institute, a new multi-disciplinary program that will pull some of the University’s top colleges together to achieve a sustainable future.
The Energy Institute, which will begin its groundwork this year, will use the resources and experts from different colleges to achieve a broader goal of energy conservation and research. The participating schools are the School of Architecture, the McCombs School of Business, the Cockrell School of Engineering, the Jackson School of Geosciences, the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Natural Sciences and the UT School of Law. Raymond Lee Orbach (top left), former Department of Energy official, will be a key figure in UT’s new sustainability institute. Read more from the Daily Texan.

I’m thrilled to hear of UT’s beginning to look at Energy in an interdisciplinary way. Will this center be offering classes, executive programs, certificates, or degrees? How do I sign up? What is offered?
Will you be coordinating with PETEX, your energy extension program in Houston?
