TCU Energy Club experiences exponential growth

Published Apr 7, 2010

When two university students founded the TCU Energy Club in March 2008, they never envisioned the group would grow to include hundreds of members and have access to leaders in the industry.

Justin LaPoten, a junior finance major and energy in technology and management minor, said that since the club started two years ago with about eight members, it has experienced tremendous growth, thanks to its relationship with the TCU Energy Institute. There are currently more than 350 students who pay $50 a semester to participate in the club, LaPoten said.
