As part of its role in educating the public about biofuels and the biofuels industry in North Carolina, the Biofuels Center recently connected with civic group members and students alike at various speaking engagements across the state.

The Center regularly participates in career fairs and seeks to engage constituents statewide through other educational opportunities. In November, communications manager Shane Reese spoke with students at Cardinal Gibbons High School's Sustainability Day in Raleigh and at the Career Expo in Chapel Hill. Recently, Reese also spoke to students from Exploris Middle School in Raleigh and to the Apex Rotary Club in Apex.
