Multicultural Engineering Program

The Colorado School of Mines Multicultural Engineering Program (MEP) was established in 1989. Over the years, MEP has played a significant role in promoting the ongoing commitment Mines has to create a more diverse and inclusive learning community. We work to enroll, retain, and graduate under-represented students, and continue to build a community of support through our many partnerships and advocacies.

MEP offers the following opportunities and programs:

• Academic Support – MEP/ CASA Tutors
• Undergraduate Research Opportunities (CO-WY AMP Grant)
• Challenge – Summer Bridge program for incoming freshmen
• Leadership Opportunities within Professional Societies
• Professional Development events
• Scholarship search assistance
• Support for First Generation students
• Networking with industry and community representatives for internship and employment opportunities
• K-12 Outreach in conjunction with Undergraduate Admissions
• Graduate School pathway partnerships
• Annual MEP Banquet honoring graduating undergraduate and graduate students
