The Northeastern University Energy Systems Society (NU-ESS) is a graduate academic student group associated with the Masters of Science in Energy Systems program of the College of Engineering. Though closely related to the program, NU-ESS welcomes involvement from everyone in the Northeastern community interested in taking a more active role relating to energy, sustainability and environmental issues. The group organizes events, discussions, educational forums and other activities to give students a chance to explore these topics outside the classroom and network with people who share their interest. The group allows members to connect with each other, gain knowledge of various energy industries, and promote continued education within the energy community.
