Duke Climate Coalition
"DCC strives to mobilize student power through coalition building that first and foremost centers the experiences of BIPOC communities and the work that marginalized communities have spent their lives fighting for. We aim to leverage Duke University’s institutional influence to create just, high-impact, and system-level progress on climate change within marginalized communities with the understanding that the institution itself has caused harm to the very individuals that we hope to support."
Duke Energy Club
"The Duke Undergraduate Energy Club is a campus organization of students interested in learning more about the energy industry. At the club, members explore the real world energy sector, engage with a greater energy community at Duke University, and strive to solve the critical energy challenges of today. The club connects student, alumni, professionals, and academics through many opportunities, from energy research and consulting projects to events throughout the years, such as career series, speaker events and Energy Week at Duke. The club supports energy justice through the Energy Training program, especially the Energy Equity module, and events and projects on energy justice."
