Associate Professor David Laurence welcoming the students

The students were then made aware of the courses and other undergraduate degree requirements by Dr. Paul Hagan, Director of Undergraduate Studies.

It was then the turn of the current students to talk about the School. Jeremy Borowski, a current 4th year student, gave a brief overview of the Mining Society while Daniel Hull, another 4th year student, provided information about the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM).

The students were then guided through the School and shown some of the facilities including the advanced computing laboratory, Virtual Reality, Mine Geomechanics and Mine Ventilation Laboratory.

At the end, a barbeque was organized by the Mining Society where the students got the opportunity to mix and talk with the Staff and current students.
