Connect with students on campus
We love it when alumni come back to campus to connect with current students and faculty. Whether it's as a guest speaker in a class, interviewing students during our fall or spring career fair, mentoring junior students, serving on a panel discussion for an event, or writing n encouraging postcard to a first-year student, you can connect with Mines students in meaningful ways. Additionally, if your organization is hiring or open to hosting interns, use Handshake, our free online career portal, to recruit Mines students.
If you are interested in any of the above opportunities, contact Shelli.Grinager@sdsmt.edu, Director of Alumni Relations.
Attend on-campus events
Campus has no shortage of opportunities for alumni to be involved! From Rocker Days, to our 5-year Reunion, to sporting events, to art shows, concerts, and more, local alumni or those visiting the area will always have an excuse to visit Mines. To ensure you're receiving information about on-campus and virtual events, be sure your information is up to date!
