29th Annual Golf Tournament
Throughout the past few years, we have had a dramatic membership and participation in our SME Chapter and department. Hosting our annual golf tournament each year, we were even able to send over 50 students to MINEXCHANGE in Denver, Colorado last year! We are hoping to send even more students this year to the 2026 MINEXCHANGE conference in Salt Lake City, Utah!
Our chapter wants to give our appreciation to all the people who supported our tournament and our 2024 Sponsors! Check them out!
A message from one of our current SME members:
"MINEXCHANGE went really well for me! This was my first year being involved in SME and my second SME conference - SME Arizona was my first. I had a lot of fun, met a lot of new people, and learned about companies I had not heard of before. One company caught my interest for its geology opportunities and I plan on looking further into it!" - Anne Manzo
