SUDBURY – 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.
Details were explained last week by Dr. Nadia Mykytczuk, the executive director at the Goodman School. Mykytczuk wears another hat as president and CEO of MIRARCO (Mining Innovation, Rehabilitation, and Applied Research Corporation) in Sudbury.
She was speaking to a group of out-of-town media and VIPs who were in Sudbury to take part in the BEV (battery electric vehicle) conference. 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.
“Showing that we are in fact committed to being Canada’s mining university,” said Mykytczuk.
