Mark Blackwell

Profile: Next year I will be entering my third year at the Haskayne School of Business in the new Energy Management program. I am the founder of the Institute for Sustainable Energy, Environment and Economy Students' Association (ISEEESA) which is currently developing two large scale projects: The First Students World Energy Conference, which will be held here in Calgary in June 2009, as well as The Solar Decathlon Team Alberta.

Over the summer I am completing an internship in New York City as a Equity Research Analyst Intern at Ludlow Energy Ventures. Ludlow Energy Ventures is a venture capital firm focusing specifically on the green and alternative energy sector. On June 28 I will be heading to Madrid, Spain to attend the 19th World Petroleum Congress which is said to be the Olympics of the Oil and Gas sector. As part of the Youth program I was selected as one of two Canadians, and 50 youth delegates world-wide, to attend and participate in the on-goings throughout the week.
