Post secondary university students studying in a mining related field have the opportunity to apply for the 2025 Dr. Donald M. Leishman Convention Experience.
The Dr. Donald M. Leishman Convention Experience provides five students with the rare opportunity to experience the PDAC Convention in Toronto at no cost. To continue Don’s legacy of generosity and mentoring of students at the convention, five selected students will be invited to attend exclusive events, meet with industry professionals and be exposed to unique learning opportunities at the convention. With accommodations, flights, registration and meals covered, this is truly THE complete convention experience!
Interested candidates must submit a resume and a short (3 – 5 minute) video that highlights their interest in their program of study, why they would like to work in the minerals industry and what they hope to gain while attending the convention. Completed submissions must include a resume and a link to an externally hosted video.
