Nadia Mykytczuk working with universities across Canada to improve the scope of knowledge and new information for mining education
The Goodman School of Mines at Sudbury’s Laurentian University is working to expand the scope of mining education in collaboration with other mining schools across Canada.
Mykytczuk told the audience that despite the financial insolvency experienced at Laurentian University from 2021-2022, LU is "rising from the ashes from a pretty significant restructuring," and part of that includes stepping back out onto the international stage to show Laurentian's mining education credentials.
"So even though Sudbury and Laurentian are small, if you think in terms of being the size of the university, we have reached out and we are partnering with U of T and UBC and McGill to build a mining masterclass, an online program, multi-credentialed, micro-credential program that will leverage the best of the best in all of the disciplines that we have to offer in mining and mining related programming across Canada," she said.
She said Sudbury and other mining communities have to recognize that conventional mining is not good enough to become fully sustainable and environmentally valid.
