Higher Education Program Advisory Council
Higher Education Program Advisory Council
The Higher Education Program Advisory Council (HEPAC) is a group of diverse academic and industry professionals who represent a broad range of disciplinary and geographic demographics, who can help build SEA's outreach to universities (domestically and internationally), recruit teams, mentors, and judges for the Switch Competition, and communicate the opportunity to other faculty members and colleagues around the world. In addition, the HEPAC will be approached as needed to advise SEA core staff on Switch Competition logistical details and the design of the annual prompt. This newly formed council meets quarterly with the Switch Competition team via Zoom to discuss program status and strengthen energy education through collaborative events and initiatives.
