2024 SX Operators’ BBQ

2023 SX Operators’ BBQ

On April 22nd, the 27th annual Operators’ BBQ ran from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM and included a barbecue lunch, tours of the student mine, a haul truck piñata, and a mining games competition. Last years event organizer and Vice President, Sundari Udall, collected sponsorships to ensure that the BBQ would be free for all attendees. Because of the sponsors and a few generous donors, the free event actually raised well over $500 for the chapter! Over 150 people attended!

A message from last years Vice President:

The SX BBQ is our time to connect with alumni and thank the various sponsors we had throughout the year, as well as induct the upcoming officer team for 2023-2024. We had around 150 students, alumni, staff, and family come and join us for food, games, and tours of our student mine. It was a huge success and I look forward to attending as an alumni in the future to see the next generation of SME!“ - Sundari Udall
