The Mines Foundation - you’ve heard the name . . . but what really happens behind the scenes?

Join Brian Winkelbauer, President & CEO of the Mines Foundation, for a candid, engaging May Lunch Bunch conversation that pulls back the curtain on how the Foundation powers scholarships, fuels innovation, advances campus priorities, and supports the long-term success of Mines.

We’re also thrilled to welcome Mines Alumni Board President, Melanie Westergaard ’87, who will share her perspective on alumni engagement, the strength of the Oredigger network, and the many ways alumni can stay connected and make a meaningful impact.

The Foundation is home to all things alumni - creating opportunities to volunteer, connect through events and programs, and support Mines in ways that matter most to you. Together, we’ll explore where the Foundation has been, how it’s structured today, recent campaign successes, and its unique partnership with campus.

We’ll wrap up with a fun, fast-paced year-end “Top 10” countdown, including a lively look at the people, milestones, and momentum shaping Mines right now.
