Applications due: Appalachia Energy Immersion
A ten-day experiential journey focused on the transition to cleaner energy systems. Spring Break: March 18-28, 2026. Apply soon!
The Appalachia Energy Immersion Trip is an experiential learning program bringing students to West Virginia and Washington, D.C. to explore the complex legacies of energy resource extraction and pathways toward a just energy transition. Appalachia has long been a key energy-producing region whose industries — including coal and, more recently, natural gas — have shaped the regional landscape and economy as well as national energy policies. Students will meet with partners working across diverse sectors — energy producers, community organizations, political leaders, and more — to learn about how diverse stakeholders are working toward alternative solutions to help move Appalachia forward.
Applications are due Sunday, November 30
Co-sponsored by the Sustainability Office and the Irving Institute.
