What does mining look like beyond the classroom? This summer, students found out firsthand in the mountains of central Idaho.

College of Western Idaho (CWI) Geosciences and Mining Technician students interned with Perpetua Resources at the Stibnite Gold Project, putting what they learned in class into practice at an active project site.

From examining rocks brought up from hundreds of feet below the surface to seeing how their classroom skills translate to the workplace, students gained valuable hands-on experience while exploring where their education could take them.

One year in, CWI’s Agricultural Sciences Complex is growing right alongside our students.

Across the 40-acre site, students are growing produce in a two-acre Urban Market Garden, caring for 30 laying hens at the Animal Science Barn, maintaining turf trial areas, and learning to identify more than 150 plant varieties in the Annual and Perennial Display Garden.

These projects give students opportunities to put what they’re learning in class to work while contributing to spaces that will serve future students and the community.
