S-IMEW provided a wonderful overview of mining and mineral exploration. It was such an eye-opening trip that showcased the wide variety of geoscience disciplines and career paths in industry. Highlights for me were exploring volcanic rocks around Noranda with Harold Gibson, visiting the shatter cones in Sudbury, and getting hands-on experience with different types of geochemical sampling. I still draw upon topics we discussed at S-IMEW in my teaching today, and now have the privilege of nominating UVic students to attend S-IMEW!

S-IMEW was a unique and treasured experience that broadened my knowledge of the multifaceted mineral exploration industry. I had little prior exposure to the applied fields of exploration and mining, so I felt fortunate to learn from enthusiastic industry and academic professionals. My fondest memories are of the many field trips and, of course, all the people! It was wonderful to meet fellow students from across Canada and to network with professionals. The S-IMEW experience motivated me to become a well-rounded geoscientist. I am grateful for this opportunity and for the dedicated organizers and volunteers who facilitated such a memorable workshop.

S-IMEW was one of those experiences that I think about annually. The hands on experiences and skills I gained have helped me to develop educational materials to inspire a passion for geology through my own business.

S-IMEW was without a doubt one of the greatest opportunities and memories of my undergraduate career. The industry members who presented to us provided us with invaluable information on the business side of this industry, which you rarely receive in an academic setting. What has stuck with me most were the friendships and networks that were created with fellow students from all over the country. A decade later, these relationships are still strong, and it is a pleasure reconnecting and seeing the path through industry each individual has taken.

S-IMEW opened my eyes to how diverse, interesting and well-funded the mining industry really is. My professors desperately wanted me to pursue a career in academia, but the S-IMEW trip gave me a taste for mining and exploration which has taken me around the world, from northern Canada to New Zealand to Australia. It was truly an honour and privilege to be invited and I’ll always be grateful for that experience.

S-IMEW provided me with an invaluable network base; both with industry professionals and young geoscientists starting out in their careers. This network has served me well in my career thus far, and continues to be a valuable asset.

Greetings from Washington DC! At the end of the S-IMEW experience, we were tasked with giving presentations to our group and staff on what the program meant to us. I was inspired to leverage the S-IMEW experience into the next step of my education. I was going to get a Masters like most people in the group. I went on and completed my Master of Earth and Energy Resource Leadership at Queen's University in 2020. I doubt I would have been inspired if I had not challenged myself at S-IMEW. Thank you to all of my S-IMEW 2016 friends and organizers!

To see such genuine enthusiasm amongst industry leaders throughout S-IMEW fueled my passion and desire to learn as much as possible about the many aspects of the mineral exploration industry. All the people I met, including fellow students and industry staff, and the hands-on knowledge obtained about the mining industry at this well-rounded workshop, immensely added to what I have learned through my work experience and geologic studies at the University of Waterloo. In appreciation, one of my goals is to one day give back by encouraging and instilling this same desire in future geoscience students.
