ENGO student Hayley Newell awarded PDAC Leishman travel grant

ENGO student Hayley Newell has been awarded one of only 5 Leishman travel grants for attending this year’s PDAC. She will be going to Toronto in March.

The Dr. Donald M. Leishman experience was established in 2022 by the Leishman family. It provides an opportunity to attend the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada's annual convention free of cost for 5 undergraduate or graduate Geoscience students across Canada who have never been to PDAC before. This award includes free travel and accommodations, as well as many exclusive networking opportunities and events for the students.

Congratulations Hayley!
