The past, present & future of South Dakota mining

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

Andrea Brickey, Ph.D., is working to recruit the next generation of miners in South Dakota.

She’s doing that to head off a potential labor shortage in the industry. But she also wants to introduce young people to the wealth of opportunities and challenges available in the field she loves.

Dr. Brickey is a professor of mining engineering and management at South Dakota Mines.
