Thank you for supporting the Batten College of Engineering and Technology.

From energy to hunger; pollution to cancer; security to natural disaster, engineering holds the key to solving the world’s greatest challenges. Great engineers are practical dreamers, methodical thinkers and imaginative problem-solvers with a vision of a better world. Our job as educators is to nurture the ideas and dreams of future engineers. By providing engineering students with access to advanced resources, new technology and research-based learning innovations, we help them face and solve society’s greatest challenges with confidence. The Batten College of Engineering and Technology is well-equipped to meet this challenge, but we need your help to continue building on the momentum we’ve created.

Your gift to the Batten College of Engineering and Technology will help the college attract a talented and diverse student body; enhance the student experience through a purposeful and experiential-based curriculum; attract and retain the finest faculty; upgrade laboratory and teaching facilities; and provide seed funding for novel research initiatives. Your investment will not only ensure the level of excellence of our incoming students for years to come, but will also help provide an education for the next generation of Monarch engineers.

Every gift makes a difference, no matter the size!
