Arthur L. Irving Institute for Energy and Society
Partnering to meet the energy needs of the future
From classrooms to career building, Irving Oil invests in education to help build stronger communities in the markets we serve and to find solutions to global challenges facing the energy industry now and in the future.
In 2016, Irving Oil and the Arthur L. Irving Family Foundation pledged a combined $80-million US gift to Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH to advance the understanding and knowledge of energy and its intersection with society.
The gift led to the establishment of the Arthur L. Irving Institute for Energy and Society. Through educational programming, research funding, and the engagement of campus and community partners, the institute connects faculty and students to examine complex energy systems within the context of emerging societal needs.
Since it was created, the institute has accomplished much, from providing research seed grants to launching a series of energy-themed programs.
"The Irving Institute has grown quickly to enhance education, research, and engagement on critical issues at the interface of energy and society," says institute Director, Elizabeth Wilson.
