In late August, the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) announced the first class of MIT Energy Fellows. Sponsored by the industry partners in the Initiative, these 39 graduate students are the inaugural members of the Society of Energy Fellows at MIT, an organization within MITEI established to foster a network of students dedicated to meeting the world’s future energy needs.
