E-Days, Colorado School of Mines’ annual celebration of our unique history, traditions and unflappable Oredigger spirit, will be held April 21-23.

At the international competition, teams from the U.S., England and Australia competed head-to-head in seven events inspired by traditional mining techniques: mucking, handsteel, swede saw, trackstand, jack leg, surveying and gold panning.

Colorado School of Mines is featured in the fourth season of The College Tour, a TV series available to stream on Amazon Prime Video that gives an in-depth, insider look at colleges and universities around the world.

The Mines Activities Council is working closely with university leadership, Jefferson County and the city of Golden to ensure all in-person E-Days activities adhere to the very latest COVID-19 guidance and restrictions.

New students placed their 10-pound rocks on a temporary M near the intramural fields last week until they can be relocated to Mount Zion.

“Long hours of training both on campus and in the Edgar Experimental Mine paid off for our Mines team," mechanical engineering freshman CJ Kaufman said.
