Initiatives

STORM WATER PROJECT

ENERGY

In an effort to continously assist local Baltimore residents in need of energy efficiency upgrades, volunteers from Morgan State University, including students, staff and University President David Wilson, Ed.D., teamed up with representatives from GRID Alternatives, the U.S. Department of Energy, the City of Baltimore, Bowie State University, Coppin State University, Civic Works, AmeriCorps members and other community organizations to bring clean energy to select homes. This green project committed an investment of $200,000 from the City of Baltimore to advance solar installations for up to 40 homes located within the Morgan Community Mile. The Morgan Community Mile is a university-community partnership in which residents, businesses, public officials and other stakeholders come together with Morgan's faculty, students and staff to make the community a better place. Morgan acknowledges the strength and diversity of its surrounding communities and leverages the University's skills and knowledge, academic research and community engagement activities to improve and sustain the quality of life in Northeast Baltimore.

STUDENT INITIATIVES

Students within the School of Engineering are able to participate in hands-on experiential learning opportunities involving the implementation of BGE green initiatives on campus. Students are provided an opportunity to apply classroom acquired theory based knowledge in various environments around the campus that advance the energy savings goals of the institution. These initiatives include, but are not limited to building modernization, smart metering, data analysis and visualization. Furthermore, students may have the opportunity to earn class credit toward graduation.
