Happy Tuesday Green Initiative!
I hope everyone had a great New Years and has been able to stay warm in this chaotic Birmingham weather!
Green Initiative is back in action for 2024 š„³ we had our first event two weeks ago with some delicious pastries and a semi-intense game of environmental trivia; we may have spent a half hour running investigations on each another to find the impostor, thanks to Gimkit and its āTrust No Oneā gameplay mode :)
If you missed our welcome back event however, donāt be too heartbroken ā we are back with the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) at UAB (IG: @uab_swe) TOMORROW at 5 pm in Hoehn 121 (if you donāt know where this is, check out the map below!).
Bridgette Colber, a UAB Engineering alumni, will be joining us to speak about their experience in First Solar, a solar technology company with a local facility in Trinity, AL. So, if youāre interested in exploring environmental engineering opportunities and/or curious about solar power in Alabama (or just want to support us and SWE), please stop by!
If you canāt join in person, feel free to hop onto this Zoom too: https://uab.zoom.us/j/6489087245?omn=82865550365
