A bold campaign for Mines’ success
In the final months of the Campaign for MINES@150, the generosity of Mines alumni has helped the university exceed expectations and reach a milestone we should all be proud of. Donors have given more than a half a billion dollars to benefit the students, faculty and programs that have made Mines a top-of-mind, first-choice engineering and applied science university.
It was ambitious to launch a comprehensive fundraising campaign during a global pandemic in 2020—many other universities cut short their efforts or delayed their kick offs. At Mines, our alumni are fiercely loyal and generous, and we knew they would rise to the moment to help the university achieve the strategic priorities for our 150th anniversary and beyond.
While we have a lot to celebrate, there is still much more to do to propel Mines to a higher degree of excellence. If you have not participated in the campaign, you still have a few months to make an impact and be a part of history—every gift matters and makes a difference at Mines.
Thank you, Oregivers!
