On November 15, 2022, the School of Mining and Mineral Resources presented a first-of-its-kind event for students to get a glimpse into the diverse world of mining. Companies from all over the United States came to the event to present their job and internship opportunities, personal experiences, and information about mining, and fascinating new technology. Numerous UArizona departments, centers and institutes demonstrated how the university prepares talent and innovation for this exciting field.
