Our Mission

The Longhorn Energy Club is the social hub for all things energy at the University of Texas, unifying students across disciplines who are interested in energy.

  1. We are a gateway to the Texas energy ecosystem, helping students connect with professionals for career development and academic collaborations.

  2. We are an interdisciplinary group that seeks to learn and discuss energy technology, policy, and finance - from introductory to advanced levels. Most of our members study engineering and finance. A considerable number of students are in the geosciences, sustainability studies, liberal arts, public policy, journalism, and law.

Supported by the University of Texas Energy Institute, our club is hosting over 20 events in AY 2025-26 that range from small discussions like our Energy Briefings, to social get-togethers with professionals like our Green Futures Forum, to premier events with hundreds of attendees like Texas Energy Innovation Night.

Our events take the form of career workshops, policy discussions, monthly news briefings, and professional development symposia that are beneficial to our student members as well as our club partners. Each year, our programming reaches over 2,000 students, connecting them directly with corporate leaders, major research institutions, cutting-edge startups, and both state and federal agencies.
