Welcome back to campus! If you're new to Mines, we're happy to have you! This year we're kicking off a Residence Hall Challenge from day 1. Your residence hall can win and so can you! Make sure your profile has your residence hall selected so your hall gets points and individual participants who achieve a gold or platinum level badge by October will be entered to win one of five prices (gift cards or solar charging banks!). More details and ways to earn points to come!
