Mines Magazine is a four-color magazine published three times a year by Colorado School of Mines. Mines is a highly respected applied science and engineering undergraduate and graduate university with an emphasis on energy, materials, earth resources and the environment. Mines Magazine is distributed to all known alumni residing in the U.S., campus faculty, graduate students and friends of Mines. The online edition is promoted via hyperlinked emails to:
