Geek of the Week: Erik Charrier, Graduate Student, PhD, Mining Engineering
Plenty of Mines students go through the school with a goal of running through their academic gauntlet as quickly as possible. Others take a bit longer to leave this haven of geeks, either by choice or by trial and error. However, only a privileged few can claim the honor of knowing the campus as well as Erik Charrier, who, after wresting both a Bachelor of Science and a Master’s degree from Mines, continues to do battle with the school in pursuit of a PhD in Mining Engineering.
