The panel is located in room CAS 132 which is between 675 Commonwealth Avenue entrance, right next to Granby Street, and 685 Commonwealth Avenue (main entrance to the building, which is right in front of BU East station).
The Emerging Professionals of Massachusetts group is excited to share our next Careers in Sustainability panel discussion at Boston University! Our upcoming event is themed “Careers in Renewables.” We plan to discuss how young professionals can break into a career in renewable energy by hearing from energy professionals from various points in their careers. The panel will include a diverse group of professionals from multiple industries within renewable energy, including both fresh and seasoned professionals. Anyone that is interested in a career change to renewable/green energy, or wants to learn more about what a career in renewable and/or green energy looks like, is encouraged to attend! We hope to see you there!

Careers in Sustainability Series:
The Careers in Sustainability Series began in 2017 by the USGBC MA Chapter’s Emerging Professionals of MA Committee, during the ramp up to GreenBuild in Boston. The goal of the series is to bring professionals in various stages of their careers in sustainability to help provide guidance and insight to students planning on entering a sustainability-related industry. Our series is structured as a panel discussion that we take to a new college every year to broaden our impact across Massachusetts. This event is brought to you by the Emerging Professionals of Massachusetts, a community of ascending professionals across the green building industry and allied fields providing professional support, development and advocacy tools through active networking, monthly programming, and community events.
