Energy

The A. B. Freeman School of Business has named Pierre E. Conner III, a senior energy and finance executive with more than 40 years’ experience in the oil and gas industry, to lead the Tulane Energy Institute.

In January, Freeman students visited the Waterford 3 control room simulator, a training facility located within Entergy’s Waterford 3 nuclear power plant that replicates the instrumentation in the plant’s actual control room down to the last toggle switch.

For the students who took part in January’s intersession courses, some of the most exciting learning took place out of the classroom and far from campus.
