It is surprising, then, that many Laurentian students come from families with long mining histories.  These individuals are ingrained with a passion for mining, and they want to pursue careers in the mining industry.    Guided by a bold and ambitious strategic plan that strives for increased national recognition through the strengthening of signature programs in mining and mining-related disciplines, and with its ability to offer unparalleled levels of mining-related field instruction, co-op education and research experiences, Laurentian is uniquely positioned – geographically and ideologically – to become the premier centre of mining education in Canada and around the globe.
