The event, held at the Cook/Douglass Lecture Hall on Cook campus, was organized as a collective effort between Cook campus Dean Richard Ludescher and the New Jersey Public Interest Research Group Student Chapter's Campus Climate Challenge campaign, a student group committed to making the University as energy efficient as possible. With a Republican official present, students were given a unique opportunity to speak to an official part of one of the largest decision-making bodies in the United States.
