Collaboration is the lifeblood of South Dakota Mines! ?? One of our most valued partnerships is with Garmin, whose support opens doors and empowers futures. Each year, Garmin provides $32,000 in scholarships to four students in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science—creating opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom. ??? Garmin’s commitment doesn’t stop there. They support senior design projects, employ over 35 Mines alumni (including the manager of our Kansas City Alumni Chapter!), and have invested over $230,000 in Mines over the past seven years. ?? From career opportunities in electrical, mechanical, and software engineering to empowering student success, Garmin is helping to shape the next generation of engineering talent. We’re beyond grateful for this partnership, benefiting our students today and tomorrow. ?? #ThankYouGarmin #HardrockerPride #EngineeringExcellence #InvestInTheFuture

We will be closed in honor of Veteran's Day today. Thank you, veterans, for your service and sacrifice.
