“I want to tip my hat to all the Mines students that I have seen in class and on campus so far for respecting the Oredigger Promise. Frankly, I have been amazed by their dedication and sense of responsibility given the difficult situation we found ourselves in. Keep up the good work and be proud of this achievement!”
— Fred Sarazin, Physics Professor
