In collaboration with Powerize, Maseeh College hosted our inaugural Maseeh Exchange event on November 12th, highlighting Power & Energy research impact. Guests were greeted with goodie bags distributed by PSU Vikings football players and Victor Viking. They explored labs researching smart grid tech, wind and energy turbulence, and electromagnetics. Our new mural, Ideas with Impact, was unveiled, and the event culminated with a series of faculty Ignite Talks. Thank you to everyone who attended and who worked behind the scenes. The Spring Maseeh Exchange is tentatively scheduled for March 4th and will focus on infrastructure: keep an eye on our webpage for updates.
