Alumni Highlight
Coal Mine to Boardroom
Barb Filas, BS/ME 1978, climbed from the underground coal mines of Illinois to the board room of a global mining company. She was one of the first women to graduate with a UA degree in mining engineering. The professor of practice at the Colorado School of Mines was recently appointed to serve as a director of Energy Fuels.
"It was certainly a different time. Back when I was in school, a woman in the industry was very much an anomaly."
