Capturing the camaraderie and can-do spirit that is the heart of the annual Appalachian Energy Summit at Appalachian State University is not easy. In 2016, a roster of 40 speakers, close to that many workshops, panels and events, all look pretty much the same from behind the lens. But look closely at the faces and you can see how this group of energy-savvy academics, leaders and students have changed the face of the UNC system, with savings in avoided energy costs to date exceeding $500 million.
