 Greetings from the Academy
The annual meeting was productive and fun, and the Executive Committee felt all Academy members might want to know about the good news being shared at the meeting. On this website you will find updates from each of the departments highlighting the great things the students and faculty have achieved over the past year, and a copy of the minutes from the meeting. Overall our departments are alive and well, and I think we can all be proud of our alma mater. All indicators are growing, including enrollment, placement, scholarship support, and research funding. Your help and involvement is needed in as many ways as possible, and the best way to learn about what is the best fit for you would be to come to the Academy meetings. The format has changed since last fall – department chairs now present not only what’s new and exciting, but also the key challenges the departments are facing in making sure student success remains a top priority.
With this in mind we are interested in your ideas about what is meaningful to you, and how attendance at the Academy meetings can be improved. Please e-mail us at mmacademy@mst.edu
I am hopeful history will show that the Mines & Met Academy was the group that galvanized not only support for the Mines & Met disciplines, but also spurred on a greater involvement by other Academies on campus to become more active in helping students achieve their dreams.
