What’s ICE?

This is ICE

Well, a few of you are interested in joining ICE, so here’s some background as to what we are and what we’ve been up to.

Who the hell is ICE?

• We’re an organization working with Brown Climate and Energy leaders to fulfill three fundamental charges: Integrate. Collaborate. Educate.
• Our current approach is to increase the visibility and accessibility of Brown’s resources in Climate and Energy, bringing together students, professors, alumni, and community groups.
  • Cool perk: We talk with a lot of important people. Over the last month we’ve talked with Ruth, half the VP’s, several deans, and Chairs of 5 departments. We really do make a difference!
• We’re working on three major projects right now
  • ICE Talks
    • We’re bringing in an assortment of speakers from all over the Brown community to start dialogues about creative solutions in Climate and Energy
    • We’re trying for weekly talks, Tuesday at noon. Bring a lunch!
    • Carbon capture, backyard windmills, algorithmic demand matching; whatever you fancy, we do it
    • The talks are cosponsored by the Energy Science Working Group, a collection of Brown scientists working on energy solutions at Brown. If you’re into research, they’re really interested in having students help!
    • Do you know professors who would be willing to speak? We need help getting more professors involved with these talks!
  • ICE-UTRA
    • We’re working with Dean Rodriguez, the UTRA dean, on an UTRA specifically targeting research that bridges sciences and humanities
    • There’s been some pretty good progress made on this, but we could always use help working with the development office.
  • Alumni Network
    • We’re putting together a network of Alumni who are interested in keeping up with the latest developments in the Brown community
    • Several alumni are interested in coming back to speak about what they’ve done since they graduated
    • This project is pretty barebones, so we need help managing alumni relations

Interested in joining us? Have new ideas for what we should be doing? Shoot me an email at Ryan_Chan@brown.edu, or hit up our emPower meetings Sunday at 9pm Wilson 302.

Word,
ICE
