CLSPS Dean Fund
Support the College of Letters, Sciences, and Professional Studies Dean Fund

For 125 years, Montana Tech has prepared determined doers to solve real-world problems. The College of Letters, Sciences & Professional Studies (CLSPS) is central to that legacy, bridging the natural sciences, health sciences, humanities, social sciences, and professional studies to equip students with the curiosity, communication, and critical-thinking skills that power every discipline on campus.

From biology and chemistry labs to mathematics, data and computing, from business and information systems to nursing, health sciences and pre-professional pathways, CLSPS faculty, staff, and students work together in an environment that nurtures innovation and keeps learning hands-on and career focused. Our graduates thrive across academia, industry, government, and the private sector—and they carry Montana Tech’s work ethic and ingenuity with them.

A gift to the CLSPS Dean Fund provides flexible, immediate resources to strengthen all programs under the CLSPS umbrella. Your support helps us:

  • Recruit and retain students with targeted scholarships and outreach.
  • Promote our programs to raise visibility among future Orediggers and employers.
  • Invest in teaching & learning, including labs, software, classroom tools, experiential learning, and student organizations.
  • Respond quickly to emerging opportunities and student needs throughout the year.

DayOne Match: Double Your Impact

During DayOne, thanks to Jack ’73 and Leah McCarthy, each gift to the CLSPS Dean Fund will be matched 1:1 up to $2,000—turning every dollar into two and accelerating our momentum as we launch Montana Tech’s next 125 years.

Your gift today sustains the people and programs that make CLSPS a hub of discovery and possibility. Give now, share the page, and invite classmates, colleagues, and friends to join you. Together, we’ll open more doors for students and keep Montana Tech’s 125-year tradition of excellence going strong.

Thank you for your support—and for helping us spread the word on social media, by email, and within your networks!
