The coolest thing that I gained from S-IMEW was the nation-wide community of peers that myself and the other participants instantly became a part of. I’ve bumped into students from my year and others at a variety of conventions, meetings and field trips over the last decade; even at non-geology related events like a curling tournament! It’s nice to know that wherever I am in Canada, a friend from my year isn’t far away. It’s often said that the social world of geology is small, which is true; S-IMEW was a great introduction to that community!
