MINES@150

Amidst a volatile economy and a challenging time for universities nationwide, Colorado School of Mines raised $70.4 million in fiscal year 2020 – the most money ever in a single year.

The $30 million gift from Bruce Grewcock ’76 and his wife, Debra Grewcock, will support full scholarships and unique experiential opportunities for students, with the goal of developing tomorrow’s industry, government and business leaders.

The Beck Venture Center – named in honor of lead donors Mike and Kelly Beck – could break ground this spring on the Mines campus.

About 150 U.S. Geological Survey scientists will co-locate with Mines faculty and students in the state-of-the-art research and teaching facility when it opens in 2022.
