Jennifer Bodine

Jennifer Bodine is very excited to have joined the Utah Clean Energy team in January as the new Deputy Director. Prior to joining the UCE team, she served as Weber State University’s Sustainability Manager for over fourteen years and also served as WSU’s Interim Energy Manager since 2023. In her position with WSU, Jenn managed an amazing team responsible for saving energy, conserving water, reducing waste, improving air quality, and ultimately helping WSU achieve its goal of being carbon neutral by the year 2040. To date, this team slashed WSU’s carbon emissions by 40%, reduced electricity consumption by 25%, natural gas consumption by 46%, water consumption by 28%, and annually diverted over 25% of University waste from the landfill. In her time with WSU, Jenn also had the pleasure of advising WSU’s student sustainability clubs and helping individuals and organizations on and off campus adopt sustainability practices. Before arriving at WSU, Jenn was a planner for Teton County, Wyoming, and a recreational trail grants administrator for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Jenn has an M.S. degree in Natural Resources and an M.A. in Public Policy & Administration from The Ohio State University. In her spare time, Jenn loves hiking, reading, and spending time with her two daughters, Kate and Claire (ages 16 and 9).
