About the Session

This session combines two experiences: a taster lecture from Johns Hopkins SAIS faculty and an information session about the MA in Sustainable Energy (online) program.

The taster lecture gives you a sample of what learning in the program is like. Dr. Alexander Ovodenko will talk about “Electric Resilience in the Era of Climate Change”. This is an exclusive live-only event — it won’t be available to watch later.

Before the talk, we'll cover key program details. You'll hear from faculty and an enrollment specialist about the curriculum and application process. The session concludes with an open Q&A.
