UH Energy Advisory Board
Underscoring her commitment to make the University of Houston the “go-to partner” for energy-related research, innovation and solutions, President Renu Khator has named 21 global industry leaders to the UH Energy Advisory Board. “Our board is made up of acknowledged leaders in the fields of energy development, management and implementation,” Khator said. “I am delighted that they support UH’s efforts to address the diverse research and work-force needs of the energy industry. UH is poised to become “the energy university” and the guidance of our board members in achieving that goal is invaluable.”
The advisory board, which meets three times per year, will provide strategic guidance, reputation, external coordination, and industry fundraising for UH’s energy initiative. The advisory board will also help staff advisory sub-committees to help the university develop actionable plans in the areas of education, research and technology incubation.
