We would like to maintain a relationship with our alumni. We believe that an active alumni base is very important for the department.
Alumni & Giving
Our alumni are essential in maintaining our presence in the engineering community. Alumni achievements and successes in the community enhance the department’s reputation and build support for the department.

Give
Gifts to the Mining Engineering Enhancement Fund can supplement existing operating budgets or provide revenue that can be directed toward emerging needs and opportunities such as scholarships, faculty support, facility enhancement and unrestricted support for departments. This valuable support allows the college to be flexible and responsive and demonstrate the truth that there is power in numbers.
There are four Mining Engineering funds that you can support:
Mining Engineering Enhancement fund
Mining Engineering Development fund
Mining Engineering Graduate Fellowship fund
If you would like to support any other Mining Engineering activity (e.g. Women in Mining, etc.), please visit give.uky.edu, search by name in the text box.
