The Continuum – A Celebration of Women at Mines
In the spring
of 1999, Susan Rainey, a SWE member and graduating senior,
wanted to organize an event to honor and recognize the women
graduating from Mines. Susan was responsible for bringing SWE,
WISEM, and the CSM Alumni Association together to develop and
sponsor this biannual event. Each fall and spring semester,
on the Wednesday evening before graduation, family, friends,
alumnae, and the CSM community are invited to celebrate the
accomplishments of these women.
