Flagship Events
Does any other undergraduate club on campus host their very own career fair? Yeah, didn't think so.
The Energy & Climate Career Fair is hosted every semester, bringing together leading companies from across the energy landscape with undergraduate and professional students from Duke University and beyond.
The inaugural Climate & Sustainability Make-A-Thon is a four-day event where students work in interdisciplinary teams to design solutions for real challenges in energy, climate, and sustainability. You will collaborate, brainstorm, and prototype ideas, with the chance to share your work at the final showcase. Cash prizes of $5,000+ will be awarded with a focus on creativity, teamwork, and learning by doing. This is a non-lock-in event that will take place over the weekend, and prior experience is not required to participate.
In partnership with Billions to Trillions, this day-prior event will gather alumni and students involved in Energy and Climate Ventures and Entrepreneurship at Duke, especially those engaged as past or future participants in the house course efforts, to build momentum and foster connection to support upcoming programming.
The annual Alumni Dinner brings together current members and Duke alumni working in the energy and climate space. Held in a relaxed, off-campus setting, the dinner is designed to foster meaningful connections, mentorship opportunities, and professional insight. This event will continue as a signature tradition to strengthen ties between past and present members of the club.
Recurring Events
Our General Body Meetings bring together the entire club to connect, learn, and share opportunities. Each GBM features a guest speaker from the energy and climate space, who offers insights on their career path and perspective on the industry’s future, followed by Q&A with students. The meetings also include short updates from the executive board and reminders about upcoming events.

Small Group Dinners offer students the chance to connect with industry professionals, faculty, and other guests over a shared meal. With no more than 15–20 participants, these dinners encourage open conversation, thoughtful questions, and genuine relationship-building. They provide a unique opportunity to learn directly from leaders in the energy and climate space while fostering meaningful connections in a relaxed, informal environment.
