Giving to ChemE

As a teaching and research department, ChemE greatly benefits from the generous and committed support of its loyal alumni. Your gifts help us recruit and keep talented faculty and students, invest in new teaching tools and technologies, and undertake capital improvements to ensure that our graduate and undergraduate programs continue at the high standard that has kept them at the top ranking in US News & World Report for 19 consecutive years.

If you would like to make a gift or pledge over the telephone, please contact Melanie Miller, Communications and Development Coordinator. Tel: (617) 253-6500; email: melmils@mit.edu.

Current Needs

On October 31st, 2008, a high-pressure steam pipe burst in the sub-basement of the Ralph Landau Building, wreaking havoc on all seven floors. Fortunately no one was injured, but the ensuing steam and water damage has greatly affected our graduate laboratories and building systems, and especially our recently renovated undergraduate lab. Funded through generous alumni support and a great source of pride for the department, the undergrad lab is now unusable and faces months of repair.

No matter what reason you choose to give to the department, your gift shows your commitment to the MIT, your connection to your classmates, and your dedication to today's and tomorrow's students. Gifts in all amounts are invaluable to the following funds:
