WIM WVU Student Chapter

On November 13, we had the honor of having Ashley Roberts, PE speak as a distinguished guest at our Women in Mining event. She kindly shared her professional experiences, emphasizing the obstacles she overcame and giving everyone in attendance insightful guidance. Thank you so much!

It was an incredible day out in the field with Women in Mining, visiting?Hinkle Contracting Company, LLC, one of CRH's mines in Paris, Kentucky! Seeing the operations up close and learning from the expertise of industry leaders was an inspiring experience. Field trips like these are invaluable. They offer firsthand insight into the mining process, the importance of safety, and the innovations shaping a sustainable future for our industry. It's powerful to witness women coming together, supporting each other, and making strides in mining. Thank you to everyone who made this experience possible! Looking forward to more opportunities that empower. #WomenInMining #MiningIndustry #EmpowerWomen #FutureOfMining

THANK YOU CRH! We want to extend our sincere gratitude for your generous donation to support our chapter. Your commitment to empowering students in the mining industry, particularly women, is truly inspiring. Your support will significantly impact our ability to organize events that encourage professionals to be in the mining industry, raise awareness about the importance of diversity in mining, go on field trips, travel to the WIM 2025 Annual Conference, and provide educational sessions with experienced mining engineers. These initiatives play a crucial role in fostering a more inclusive industry. We are incredibly thankful for CRH’s and Joshua Clark dedication to our mission. Your advocacy has not gone unnoticed, and we are genuinely grateful for your support. Once again, thank you! We feel fortunate to have partners like you. Warm regards, Women in Mining Officers,?WVU Chapter

Special thanks to Kathleen Tew for spending not one, but two days with our students here at WVU Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources. On Wednesday, the student chapters of WIM WVU Student Chapter, WVU SME Chapter, and the Statler College Academic Diversity Committee co-hosted a seminar with Kathleen to discuss the diverse opportunities in the Mining Industry. We had a wide variety of attendees from freshman through graduate students in multiple engineering disciplines. On Thursday, our Mining Engineering sophomores got the opportunity to delve into Shaft sinking and mine development with Kathleen. It was truly a pleasure to have her on campus!

We want to extend our sincere thanks to Kathleen Tew for sharing her experiences and ideas. It was great!

On behalf of the WVU WIM Chapter, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for Leer Mine Complex's generous support in facilitating our attendance at the WIM USA 2024 conference.

It was a marvelous experience to attend the Women in Mining USA 2024 Conference. We met people from other regions of the US. The event broke a record with more than 500 attendees. Thank you all for contributing your efforts. Special thanks to Women in Mining USA for funding student chapters to be there. Also, a special thanks to Nevada Gold Mines for providing us with a place and an amazing mine tour. It was a great opportunity. We are looking forward to next year's conference!

It was a wonderful mine trip to the Appalachian Aggregates Alta Quarry facility. We had the opportunity to visit a quarry. Joshua Clark not only helped arrange this mine trip but also our info sessions, and we extend our gratitude to him for his time and effort. Special thanks to CRH, Appalachian Aggregates Alta Quarry, Howard Walker, and Amanda Cordill for their hospitality. We appreciate all those who dedicated their time to lead us on the tour and provide insights into the operations.

It was great to see the facility of CRH's Appalachian Aggregates Alta Quarry. Thank you and CRH for such an excellent opportunity. I appreciate the time everyone took to host us on the tour and introduce the plant's operation!
