The Penn State
Energy Marketing
Association
A newly founded
student organization
The Mission of the Penn State
Energy Marketing Association is
to establish an intellectual forum
where like-minded individuals
shall discuss, share, engage in,
and debate content related to
energy marketing for the purpose
of acquiring industry fluidity and
augmenting personal
marketability.
Bridging the gap
Energy marketing is unique in
that it brings together
engineers and students of
business-minded
backgrounds for a common
purpose. The Penn State
Energy Marketing Association
embraces this notion and is
excited to establish an
academically diverse forum.
Skill development
The Penn State Energy
Marketing Association seeks
to acquire industry knowledge
and skills above and beyond
what is taught in a college
curriculum. PSEMA
accomplishes this by hosting
guest speakers, receiving
special presentations from its
corporate partners, and
mutually sharing information
in an academic forum setting.
