ENGINEERING THE WAY Dear Donors, Because of your generosity, Colorado School of Mines continues to build momentum in earth, energy and environment, fields that are critically important to the world today. It is our pleasure to thank each and every one of you for helping to further Mines’ distinction through your philanthropic contributions. Over the past year the Colorado School of Mines Foundation recommitted itself to strengthening Colorado School of Mines through private support. With endorsement from the alumni association and the faculty, the foundation modernized its bylaws to better reflect best practices and established a board of governors of up to 35 members to extend our relationships and further develop private philanthropy for the benefit of Mines. This 2007 – 2008 Annual Report to Donors illustrates the foundation’s focus on advancing the school. It celebrates the outstanding commitment of our alumni, friends, students, faculty, staff and parents. It also recognizes the many corporations and foundations whose investments support Colorado School of Mines’ educational mission and research enterprise. Last year, donors contributed more than $14 million for student support, endowed faculty positions, facilities, and academic and extracurricular programs that provide a strong foundation for our excellence. A record 762 contributors made gifts at or above the $1,000 President’s Council level. With such a strong community of support behind them, our students, faculty and graduates are engineering the way toward a prosperous and sustainable future for our global society. David Wagner, foundation board of governors president and chair; Molly Williams, vice president for university advancement; M.W. Scoggins, Mines president As this letter is written, the world is in the midst of an economic crisis. We understand that these are difficult times for most everyone, and are especially grateful for your interest and support. Your gifts ensure continued opportunities for the outstanding young people who choose to pursue a Mines degree. Your investment is in the future. Thank you for keeping this exceptional institution moving forward. With gratitude, Colorado School of Mines and Colorado School of Mines Foundation 3
