The Mining Society is a student-run group that plans and hosts activities for mining students. We bring mining students together and encourage everyone to get involved. We also work as a liaison between mining students, faculty members, and university groups including the Engineering Society.
The Mining Club hosts social events to build a strong sense of community within the department. Typical events include:
