The Doe Run Company announced that Genevieve Sutton of Bunker, was inducted into the Missouri University of Science and Technology’s (Missouri S&T) prestigious Mines and Metallurgy Academy on April 20, along with 10 other alumni. Sutton has nearly 17 years of experience in the mining and environmental, health and safety (EHS) fields, and is currently an EHS technical supervisor for The Doe Run Company. Employment in occupations related to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) is projected to grow to more than 9 million between 2012 and 2022, faster than most other occupations. In some cases, there will be more jobs than eligible employees. The mining industry estimates 50,000 new employees will be needed to meet a shortage of skilled mine workers as the result of retiring employees over the next several years. In addition to her new participation with the Mines and Metallurgy Academy, Sutton is part of a team of several Doe Run employees charged with managing Doe Run’s ongoing partnership with Missouri S&T to provide funding and resources to support students pursuing degrees in mining and STEM fields. Funding from Doe Run has helped build the recently completed Kennedy Mine Building on campus, and provide equipment and tools for students to practice skills they will need in the industry. Sutton has a special personal relationship with Missouri S&T as well. Both she and her husband studied mining engineering at Missouri S&T and were the first couple to be married in the Missouri S&T Experimental Mine in Rolla.
