Mines Online is not possible without the help from others. Below are Mines teams who support our work, plus a few handy links to help you learn more:
Academic Affairs
Through the support of Academic Affairs our university assures excellence in all our academic activities. The Office of the Provost works in coordination with various units from Mines to deliver a world-class education at Mines. Visit the faculty resources for more information on events and announcements.
Alumni Association
One of the many strengths of Mines are its alumni and their continued support for past, current, and future students. In addition to helping others, business professionals, graduate & undergraduate students, and alumni themselves have the opportunity to network and join a mentorship, ambassadorship, and/or volunteer programs through the association. Individuals and companies also have the opportunity to give back to Mines to support areas in greatest need. Inspiring stories from alumni who chose to pay it back to Mines are the perfect ways to describe the caliber of people who associate with Mines.
Arthur Lakes Library
The Arthur Lakes Library is the collaborative partner and intellectual nexus that bridges disciplines and communities across the Mines campus. Not only are readily-accessible materials available to you and students like LibGuides, but also services like Ask a Librarian. You can also search through the catalog to see if a course resource is available online.
Career Center
One of the advantages of graduating from Mines is the high demand for employment within industry and the government. The Career Center’s semi-annual Career Days joins together employers and job-seeking students, along with providing ongoing networks to post/seek job opportunities for current students and alumni. Faculty and Staff from Mines can also access resources, job data, and request a presentation for their classes.
