John Mackay Club

John Mackay Club The John Mackay Club is the student chapter of SME, the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration. In 2011 the competition returns to Reno.

Membership consists primarily of Mining Engineering majors but also includes students from other earth sciences. The club serves to connect students with industry, promote professional development, and provide a social outlet for students. Each year the club sends members to the SME Annual Meeting, where they compete in the SME/NSSGA (National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association) Student Mine Desi

gn Competition and have traditionally placed very well. Also, each year the club fields multiple teams for the International Intercollegiate Mining Competition. In 2010, the club will send two teams (1 men’s, 1 women’s) abroad to Kalgoorlie, Australia where they will compete against teams from the United States, Australia, and Great Britain, testing their skills against one another in both older (hand mucking) and newer (jackleg drilling) mining techniques. In addition to competitions and meetings, the Mackay Club holds barbeques, mine trips, and sponsors events during Mackay Week with the Mackay Rockhounds Club. All these activities are made possible by the generous support from individuals and industry. If you would like to support the John Mackay Club, or are interested in making a presentation at one of our meetings please contact the faculty advisor, Dr. Dan Taylor ([email protected]) or:

The following information is about Elections!!!

Have Nominations in by: March 1st

To send in a nomination please send an email to [email protected] with the name of the person and the position you would like to nominate them for. I will be compiling a list of people for each office, when I receive a nomination I will send an email to the nominee asking if they are willing to run in the elections and serve in the position if they win.

Election Day: March 4th

For Election Day we will have each of the nominees do a quick 2 to 3 minute speech about why they would be a good person for the position, so if you are a nominee come prepared!!

Elections this year will be held in ballot form, this means you should bring a piece of paper or bum one off a fellow member at the meeting as you will be needing one, After the candidates do their speeches each name will be written on the board with a letter by their name. You will need to write the letter of the nominees you think is best suited for the positions on the ballot. The ballots will be collected and counted there at the meeting on the whiteboard.
