MAX Scholar Visit

This past Thursday and Friday a group of students and 3 faculty members visited IRE from Minnesota State University Mankato from the MAX Scholarship program. Four students from IRE are involved in this program and participate in weekly meetings with the Mankato students. The MAX scholarship is a diversity scholarship funded through the National Science Foundation.

The first night here IRE students and MAX scholars went bowling and visited about the program. The next day involved a mine tour of Minorca, a lunch with all IRE students, a speech about IRE from Ron, and debates within the scholar group.

Everyone had a good time visiting and meeting new people, or re-meeting for a second time, and the Mankato students finally got to experience the Iron Range.
