Civic Engagement at Mines

SAIL supports students by providing learning opportunities and education to appreciate, engage, and advance Mines Diversity, Inclusion, and Access initiatives. Whether it is through engaging with our Undergraduate Student Government, participating in an Orediggers Vote event or volunteering in the community, Mines has opportunities for all student interests.
