The New Mexico Tech Department of Physics has an earned reputation for strong research and academic programs. To maintain this quality of excellence we must recruit the best faculty talent available and provide the very best facilities and equipment that will encourage breakthrough research so we can attract the best undergraduate and graduate students possible. The Physics Department at New Mexico Tech is dedicated to this mission of excellence. The need for private support has become greater than ever before. Please help make our goals of excellence possible by contributing today.

Why Support the New Mexico Tech Department of Physics?

Gifts to the Department of Physics have a direct impact on the daily lives of students and are applied in a variety of ways, which you are free to select yourself, or let us choose. You can endow a scholarship and choose the criteria for the students to receive it (under-represented minorities, women in physics, students with an interest in alternative energy, it’s up to you). New Mexico Tech does not have the resources of the Ivy League, yet we do a great job of providing a strong education at a cost 1/10 of the Ivy’s. We can use help however—if you have substantial means, remember, NOTHING has the impact of an endowed chair. Making a gift to the Department of Physics is quick and easy.
