Meet Ruby Jost, a senior at the University of Kentucky studying mining engineering and the president of the Norwood SME chapter on campus. In this video, Ruby shares how she discovered mining engineering, why she made the switch from civil, and what makes the mining industry such a rewarding, versatile career path.
