The Energy Coalition
What is the Energy Coalition?
The Energy Coalition is the hub for energy-minded students at UH — a campus-wide network uniting thousands of students and their organizations across engineering, business, law, policy, and sustainability.
We bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world energy careers by connecting students with industry leaders, academic partners, and hands-on opportunities. Whether you're new to energy or leading a student org, EC empowers you to collaborate, innovate, and lead the future of energy.
Our Vision
We envision a future where every student—no matter their major—can find a place in the world of energy.
The Energy Coalition exists to make that future possible. We believe that by uniting diverse voices, creating space for collaboration, and building real pathways to leadership and industry, we can empower students to shape the future of energy from the ground up.
Our vision is a campus where:
Every energy-related student organization has a voice within the Energy Coalition
EC events and resources provide real value for student careers, community, and growth
Students feel welcomed and equipped to lead in any energy sector—traditional, renewable,
or emerging
