2015 Leading Women in Mining Discussion Panel
​
Any mention of mining, trucks and money in the same setting, traditionally conjures the image of men in fluorescent overalls and hard hats to mind - this is the exact image Women in Mining University of Toronto Student Chapter wants to change.
​
Women in Mining UofT hosted its first informational panel for students in the campus' historic Hart House. The panel, titled “Leading Women in Mining”, focused on navigating through the mining industry as a young professional and developing the skills necessary to excel in executive roles.
2014 National Mining Competition
​
The first task was a 'Crisis Challenge,' requiring each group to report an unexpected crisis through media to the general public, workers and shareholders. Following the crisis challenge was the completion of the '24-Hour Case’, which asked groups to devise sensible solutions to real corporate challenges faced in today’s mining sector. All solutions were later presented to judges, from the mining industry. Sleepless nights and team dynamics ensued. The last night ended with a gala where students and industry professionals networked and listen to a panel of four CEO’s discussing the mining industry at large, current projects and tips for succeeding in industry.
