CLASS Department Donations
Your donations to the Department of Communication, Liberal Arts, and Social Sciences help keep music and the humanities strong at New Mexico Tech and the surrounding community.
There are three main ways to support our department. Donations to the music and community outreach program go toward funding performances and master classes, purchasing and maintaining instruments, and supporting promising student musicians. Donations to the technical communication program fund upgrades to our computer labs and equipment, conference travel for technical communication students, and scholarships for minority scholars. Donations to the department help bring in engaging speakers and fund innovative programs (such as our new STEAM Learning Community) and centers (such as the Writing and Oral Presentation Center).
If there are other ways in which you would like to support our department, or if you would like to talk further about how your generous donations are to be used, please contact the Department Chair (Dr. Steve Simpson, steve.simpson@nmt.edu, 575.835.5149).
