Kelly Mine Experience

ENGAGE ♦ CONNECT ♦ BELONG

August 9-14, 2026

New Mexico Tech welcomes all incoming students to the Kelly Mine Experience, August 9-14, 2026. This essential jumpstart program is provided at no additional cost and is a required first step in your NMT college journey.  Students move into their dorms, engage in campus life, connect with other students, and start building a sense of belonging at NMT. Through hands-on transformative experiences, students develop personal and interpersonal skills, leadership, and academic understanding. Our goal is to create a space for students to develop self-awareness, grow confidence, build a support system, and link to campus resources to initiate success at New Mexico Tech.
