STUDENTS & PROFESSIONALS DISCUSSION PANEL
The Students & Professionals Discussion Panel aims to engage students with professionals in various mining-related disciplines, including environmental science, geoscience, engineering, and more. This event will include a panel of professionals sharing their transition from academia to the professional world.
SME Boise Section wants to take the mystery out of this transition and provide students with the opportunity to hear how people who were once in their shoes took the next step into the professional world. The panel will be followed by informal break-out sessions, where panelists and SME members will circulate to engage one-to-one with students.
Panelists announced soon!
