The lecture will be delivered by John Reiten, special assistant to the president and deputy executive director of the\u00a0White House’s National Energy Dominance Council.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his role, Reiten advances the president’s energy dominance agenda to ensure reliable, secure and affordable energy. His work focuses on strengthening U.S. energy security, expanding domestic production and reinforcing American leadership in global energy markets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reiten previously served former North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum as a senior policy advisor, leading the governor’s energy, water, agriculture and tribal relations portfolios \u2014 including developing several billion dollars in water infrastructure investments, establishing hundreds of millions of dollars in energy grant and loan programming, negotiating tribal-state gaming compacts and coordinating the state’s response to federal regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hosted by the College of Engineering & Mines, this iteration of the series is made possible by an endowment supported by Great River Energy.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
