Events & Professional Development
MEP and our professional societies host a variety of events, activities, and workshops for Mines students throughout the academic year.
College View Middle School Tutoring
MEP sponsors paid tutoring opportunities at CollegeView Middle School in Denver. This after-school tutoring program is looking for Mines students to provide tutoring in Mathematics (algebra/geometry). For this work, you need to be available from approximately 2:45pm to 3:45pm on at least one day per week (Monday, Tuesday or Thursday), and plan to arrive at the school at least 10 min prior to the start time. Pay is $50-$60 per tutoring session. Prior to tutoring, the middle school teacher and tutoring coordinator will spend time with you to share details on what the students are working on and answer any questions you may have. If interested, please email Samuel Araujo (saraujo@mines.edu).
Rocky Mountain MESA
Rocky Mountain MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement) is a statewide/regional organization for traditionally underserved and underrepresented K-14 students. Mines students serve as volunteer mentors who engage K-14 students in hands-on activities, collecting and analyzing data, sharing experiences in pursuing a STEM major, and exploring STEM majors. MESA students also have the opportunity to participate in a nationwide competition.

Colorado-Wyoming Alliance for Minority Participation
The Multicultural Engineering Program at Colorado School of Mines provides support to students through the CO-WY AMP grant by:
- Funding undergraduate students to participate on research projects with graduate students and/or faculty.
- Funding undergraduate students to participate on research projects with NREL scientists.
The Colorado-Wyoming Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (CO-WY AMP) is an innovative consortium of fourteen community colleges and four-year institutions, and four Native American tribes in Colorado and the Four Corners region. The Alliance’s mission is to double the number of historically and currently under-represented American Indian, African American, Hispanic and Pacific Islander students earning bachelor’s degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM). CO-WY AMP is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, with Colorado State University as its headquarters.
Other goals of CO-WY AMP include increasing the quality of education for these students and building the infrastructure for programs and activities that link public and private resources through structured funding and program development strategies. This program is not racially or gender exclusive.
