Colorado School of Mines is designing a new pathway for students to build careers in the heavy construction industry, thanks to a three-year, $900,000 grant from The Beavers Charitable Trust.

The 2023-24 academic year marks an important milestone for the university, which will celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2024. MINES@150 celebrations are planned throughout the calendar year 2024.

The endowment gift creates the Andy and Sherry Swiger Professorship for Business Excellence. Mines faculty will compete for funding and the prestigious title through a proposal process.

The anonymous gift, one of the largest to support athletics in university history, will provide about $440,000 for scholarships each year, fund improvements to the university’s track and field complex and build a cross country training facility on campus.
