Support the Department

The Department of Geology and Geological Engineering depends on funds raised by gifts and donations from alumni, friends of the department, and the private sector. While we have support from the university for many of our programs, those that rely heavily on fundraising include:

our field geology program (field camp and field labs for undergraduate and graduate classes)
fellowships for graduate students
maintenance and expansion of student computing facilities
our department "discretionary" account that supports activities such as special teaching and research need and opportunities for students and faculty, analytical equipment purchase and maintenance, publication of the Newsletter, maintenance of the webpage, and our Advisory Board meetings.

Gifts to the Geology and Geological Engineering Department Fund can easily be made online, or by cash, a check made payable to CSM Foundation or a pledge. You may be able to double or even triple your departmental gift. Check with your or your spouse’s human resources office to determine how you can maximize your contribution to Mines.

For more information on gift opportunity or making a gift of securities, please contact Sara Ponds, 303.273.3153, Director of Annual Giving or visit the CSM Foundation website.
