A Note From PASCAL
The Professional and Scholar Communities Applied Learning (PASCAL) Center works in service to the development, advancement, and support of scholarship communities and professional development efforts at Mines.
The PASCAL Center focuses on three broad efforts: direct management of scholarship communities at Mines; institutional support, guidance, and proliferation of professional development programming with campus partners; and stewardship via engagement with alumni, donors, and the Mines Foundation. These efforts align the PASCAL Center’s mission with the MINES@150 campaign to increase student success and affinity to Mines and promote opportunities for professional development.
Partnership and collaboration are essential to our MINES@150 aspirations and to PASCAL’s efforts. We want to partner with our alumni, our institutional partners, campus colleagues, and students. Please take time to review our website and express interest if you’re interested in learning more about PASCAL and/or supporting our efforts. Our team is in service to you, and we hope to hear from you or see you at our upcoming programs.
