Coffee and Chat with ExxonMobil

A group of students gathered for an open discussion with ExxonMobil on Feb. 13 in the Science and Technology Building. Over donuts and coffee ExxonMobil team members shared the company’s environmental performance updates and answered questions the students had related to its environmental efforts.

“ExxonMobil has put $2 billion into its environmental performance measures and we’re sharing that information with the community including students,” said Emily Russell, public and government affairs advisor.

The event lasted a little over an hour. Brad Van Mayion, a LU graduate and ExxonMobil permitting sections supervisor, along with Bambi Bentley, an ExxonMobil environmental advisor, shared details about the oil and gas corporation’s efforts to exceed environmental standards.

“I was curious about what they’d talk about,” said Omar Aquilar, a senior graduating in May with both civil and environmental engineering degrees. “It was a pleasant discussion about the environment and their control efforts to prevent damaging products from going into the atmosphere.”

ExxonMobil hopes to hold future discussions on the Lamar University campus for a wide variety of students.

“We want to let LU students – engineering students and those not in engineering - know what goes on operationally at ExxonMobil,” said Russell.
