The GRO seminar series brings engineers and executives from across the energy industry to Benedum Hall for a weekly conversation with students. Talks cover field operations, commercial analytics, renewables development, emissions management, and the career paths that run through all of them. Sessions are open to all Swanson School students, and presentation files are posted here after each talk.
