Integration @Mines Saint-Étienne
From September 5 to 8, new engineering students participated in the traditional start-of-year integration trips, supervised by staff and 2nd-year students: 4 days of hiking, sports, and civic activities through a participatory work project to bond our cohorts and allow our students to concretely experience the school’s values.
On the Vercors plateau, the 140 new ICM students (for the 30th anniversary of a unique integration trip 1989-2019!) contributed to the restoration of the historic Vassieux windmills site.
In the heart of the Écrins National Park, the new ISMIN class of 2019 participated effectively in maintenance work on the Villard irrigation canal in Vallouise.
International students also benefit from personalized support, including a welcome day in the Pilat, various cultural, sporting, and social activities, and actions implemented by the School’s administrative teaching teams and the student association Mines International Students 2019-2020.
