Energy Resources Council

The University of Wyoming Energy Resources Council (ERC) was established by Wyoming statute 21-17-117(e) to guide SER in setting priorities for energy-related academics, research, and outreach. The ERC, consisting of leaders from industry, the legislature and UW, provides direction for responsive, internationally recognized, interdisciplinary energy-related programs that are integral constituents of the university's identity. The School of Energy Resources operating structure and policies are established by the Board of Trustees. 

The ERC contributes a unique business perspective upon the diverse research and workforce demand's of both Wyoming's private and public energy sectors, and is responsible for producing a valuable return on the state's investment in UW's energy programs.
