S-IMEW is an amazing opportunity that presents the roles of a geologist and their impact in a way not seen in traditional geology classes. It gave me the opportunity to visit an underground mine, showing me with certainty that I could thrive in that environment, which lead me to continue my Master’s in an underground gold mine.
Above all else, my greatest take-away was the opportunity to connect with a diverse group of peers who share the same drive for geology and a curiosity to explore. No matter where you are across the country, you have a friend and an instant network.

My fondest memories of S-IMEW are the sense of belonging it gave me early in my career. As a student, S-IMEW helped demystify the mining and exploration industry by connecting classroom learning with real people, projects, and career paths. Through events, mentorship, and networking, it showed me what was possible in the geoscience industry and helped me build relationships that I still rely on today. More than anything, S-IMEW reinforced that there is a place for motivated students in this industry and that early support played a meaningful role in shaping my career and professional involvement.
