MINES@150

Mines will be celebrating its sesquicentennial with special events and activities throughout 2024, starting with Founders Week in February.

Before the celebration of Colorado School of Mines' 150th anniversary gets underway in 2024, let's raise a toast to the milestones of 2023.

Denver entrepreneur Joe Cornell has made an estate gift to Mines that should, at its peak and in perpetuity, fund half of 50 rural students’ tuition and half of their board while they live on campus

Five new apartment buildings will open at Mines Park in Fall 2025, more than doubling the total number of on-campus beds for upper-division undergrads, grad students and grad student families.

Victoria Bill and Zach Bennett have joined Mines as the inaugural directors of two foundational pieces of the E&I Ecosystem: the Labriola Innovation Hub and Beck Venture Center.

Kerry Siggins ’01, Kari Gonzales ’02 and Kim Alanis ’04 MS ’05 say that playing Oredigger softball created a support system that kept them at Mines through tough personal struggles while teaching them

Colorado School of Mines is designing a new pathway for students to build careers in the heavy construction industry, thanks to a three-year, $900,000 grant from The Beavers Charitable Trust.

The 2023-24 academic year marks an important milestone for the university, which will celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2024. MINES@150 celebrations are planned throughout the calendar year 2024.

The endowment gift creates the Andy and Sherry Swiger Professorship for Business Excellence. Mines faculty will compete for funding and the prestigious title through a proposal process.

The anonymous gift, one of the largest to support athletics in university history, will provide about $440,000 for scholarships each year, fund improvements to the university’s track and field complex and build a cross country training facility on campus.
