Thanks, Orediggers!

Thanks, Orediggers!

As an individual who greatly benefits from in-person instruction and coursework, I wanted to take a moment to thank our campus community as a whole for their selflessness and compliance with the oredigger promise. After hearing the news that numerous other universities were forced to return to remote learning within weeks of starting the new semester, I feared that our own school would soon have to return to remote delivery, as well. For me, this would likely mean compromised grades and a semester-long struggle ahead. However, it is now fall break, and I can still happily attend all of my labs and interact with faculty and fellow students here on campus. This would not be possible without a collective, community-wide effort involving all hands on deck. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone involved with the Mines community for wearing a mask. My grades and my spirits are up because of you :)As an individual who greatly benefits from in-person instruction and coursework, I wanted to take a moment to thank our campus community as a whole for their selflessness and compliance with the oredigger promise.

I would like to publicly thank the entire Green Center student staff: Aaron Pampalone, Abby Bissell, Bryan Carrillo, Bryan Dickson, Cameron Webb, Dalton Metz, Daniel Sanchez, Ethan Brucker, Maddy Dawes, and Tyler Clark. This semester has altered their job duties in many ways, and they have remained flexible and understanding throughout all of the uncertainty. They continue to be reliable, present, help each other, wear masks and clean, and helped support the classrooms and professors. They...

Dr. Elliot Kapit has been the most empathetic and compassionate professor that I have ever had the pleasure to be educated by at the Colorado School of Mines. Dr. Kapit has taken this unusual semester and truly facilitated it in a way that his students could still learn in a positive environment. Not only have his lectures been very interesting and informative, but he resonates with the struggles that his students have experienced during this pandemic. He has been extremely understanding and...

This is Amelia Read’s first semester teaching at Mines; teaching Computer Organization. She has done a phenomenal job building and extending the course beyond past offerings. She is also able to keep student engagement in class by working ‘with’ students instead of ‘in front of’ students. The detailed and monotonous nature of the class was minimized by her teaching style, and Mines should be grateful for such dedicated faculty.
