Our Teams
Events
The Events team organizes all SEC events to inform and engage the SEC community. From leading networking dinners to hosting discussion panels, Events directors gain first-hand experience in envisioning high impact events, while being part of a close-knit and collaborative community. Not only do Events officers possess a unique opportunity to interact directly with faculty and industry professionals, they also have the freedom to propose and spearhead new events and initiatives aligned towards their own interests. We have a number of exciting events happening over the next year, and we look forward to working with our team to make them successful!
Interested in our events? Want to co-host an event with us? Want to join our Events Team? Email the Co-VPs of Events, Griffin Clark (griffinrclark@stanford.edu) and Vivek Vajipey (vvajipey@stanford.edu).
Energy Week Team
The Energy Week team is a sub-team within Events devoted solely to planning and organizing the SEC Energy Week in November – a week of events aimed at galvanizing student interest in energy. Members of this team will have a unique opportunity to work with some of the most high-profile individuals in the energy space, and help foster meaningful collaborations with industry, campus organizations, and other universities, culminating in one of the most impactful student-run energy conferences.
Projects
SEC Projects are collaborations between SEC and off-campus partners to address real-world issues and allow students to gain hands-on technical experience. SEC Projects offer a collaborative group work environment between participants and 1-2 team leads. This affords a low barrier to entry, a structured learning process, and mentorship opportunities for students with less incoming experience. We organize three project cohorts per year; each project culminates in a formal seminar event, during which all teams will present the results of their respective projects. The event will be attended by Stanford students, faculty, and representatives from all project partner companies, providing each team with a large platform for sharing their findings. We will hold two such events: once during Energy Week in February and once at the end of the school year in June.

If you're interested in starting a new project team on these or other topics, reach out to the VP of Projects David Lee (davidl24@stanford.edu) at any time.
Digital and Brand (D&B)
The Digital & Brand (D&B) team is the backbone of the SEC’s activities and is tasked with driving our digital presence and name recognition. We maintain the SEC website and social media feeds, create and manage content about SEC activities, and promote SEC events around campus. In addition, we work closely with all the other teams to promote community growth and engagement and reach all students on campus. As a result, D&B officers develop many diverse interests and skills in graphic design, branding, and digital advertising, and also gain opportunities to engage with energy-affiliated groups from all aspects of the SEC’s activities.
If you would like to learn more about D&B’s activities, or if you have an idea to increase SEC engagement on campus, please contact the VP of D&B, Chris Perez (cp0249@stanford.edu).
Business Development
The Business Development (BD) team oversees SEC’s budget, develops partnerships, and ensures that all of SEC’s initiatives can take place. We function as a liaison between the club and Stanford administration and collaborate with companies to turn visions into reality.
BOOTCAMP
The SEC Bootcamp is a new initiative planned collectively by the SEC teams. Launching in the 2022-23 school year, it will provide a platform for students of all backgrounds to explore and approach the energy space from scientific, political, and social standpoints. Stay tuned for more information!
