We're gearing up for Raising for Rockers 2025! Here is this year's project list. If you would like to offer a matching or challenge gift, please email Bailey.Ellis@sdsmt.edu.

·        Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences- Send undergraduate students to conferences such as the American Meteorological Society and Ecological Society of America national and regional conferences.

·         Chemical and Biological Engineering- Support the ACE (Accelerating Career Exploration) program, which helps first-year chemical engineering students start their careers with a paid summer research internship. Your contributions will help fund stipends, living expenses, and valuable research and mentorship opportunities.

·         Chemistry, Biology, and Health Sciences- Help enhance collaborative learning spaces for students with whiteboards in lobby spaces, a wall-sized periodic table, and DNA and protein molecular art.

·         Civil and Environmental Engineering-  Support department initiatives directly impacting students such as the Hard Hat Ceremony, Free Food Fridays, and their Pre-Career Fair Meet and Greet. 

·         Computer Science-  Send students to the Grace Hopper Conference.

·         Electrical Engineering-  Funds to purchase electronics and circuits lab supplies that will give students enhanced hands-on learning experiences while preparing them for successful careers in the field. 

·         Geology and Geological Engineering- Support their Fall and Spring Geology Field Trips

·         Humanities- support student travel to conferences such as the Society for Social Studies Conference.

·         Industrial Engineering – Modernize lab equipment, acquire VR equipment, and provide funding for senior design class for travel.

·         Materials and Metallurgical Engineering- Funds will be used to purchase a new metallographic polishing station for the Metallography Lab in the New Mineral Industries building.

·         Mathematics- Support for the West River Math Competition for High School Students.

·         Mechanical Engineering- Support undergraduate researchers by providing travel and lodging to prestigious research conferences where they will present their work.

·         Mining Engineering and Management-Purchase a robotic dog to enhance hands-on learning in mine safety, support emergency response training, and serve as cutting-edge tool for research and recruitment.

·         Nanoscience and Biomedical Engineering- Support hands-on learning equipment to enhance student learning experiences such as a 3-D printer, Microprocessor supplies, and ELEGOO starter kits.

·         Physics- Send students to national and international conferences allowing students to broaden their horizons, develop soft skills, and network with peers, renowned scientists, and industry professionals.
