Colorado School of Mines
Winner of the Fundraising/Sustainability Category
The AWM Student Chapter at the Colorado School of Mines is recognized for their successful attainment and strategic use of funding. They have secured two regular corporate sponsors to fund their usual chapter activities, along with two internal Colorado School of Mines grants and a substantial third corporate sponsorship to fund their chapter’s special 10th year reunion conference. This ambitious two-day conference hosted alumni from the AWM Chapter, and funding efforts allowed organizers to provide food and conference swag to all attendees without a registration fee, and also provide travel support and stipends to all speakers, all panelists, and even some non-local alumni attendees. The chapter is also recognized for the efforts it makes to maintain connections with its alumni; it is intentional about asking for personal emails after graduation, which not only allows increased participation in this conference but also provides speakers for other events.
