Students partner with Muncie nonprofit to implement green energy

The concept of saving energy and using more eco-friendly resources has been around for years — businesses like the Indianapolis International Airport have even made the switch entirely to solar panels. To continue the positive shift, the National Electrical Contractor Association works to partner with universities across the U.S. to present an eco-challenge to students: pitching, integrating and executing green energy plans to local nonprofits. Ball State is one university that offers a one credit, independent study course dedicated to the ELECTRI International Green Energy Challenge, and this year, the construction management students in the class have decided to partner with the Muncie Animal Rescue Fund, ARF.
