About the campaign

To propel Missouri S&T to the status of one of the nation’s top five technological universities, Missouri S&T will focus its effort and resources in four areas throughout the Advancing Excellence Campaign (2003 - 2010).

Students in lab.

Throughout our history, Missouri S&T has prepared bright, hard-working students to meet society’s challenges.

All our graduates have benefited from Missouri S&T’s unique combination of academic depth and breadth, practical, hands-on experiences, unparalleled opportunities for involvement, relevant career connections, and the rigorous yet caring culture and community. No other university offers this unique combination of qualities to its students. It is part of Missouri S&T’s core – part of the Missouri S&T DNA, so to speak.

This approach to learning has not changed and with your support, it never will. The following pages crystallize Missouri S&T’s vision and the plan to achieve academic and technological greatness. We hope it inspires you to remember how  Rolla appeared in the rear-view mirror as  you departed, degree in hand, and to dream of what it can become.

Prepare students for a new world

$43 million

As you learned during your years at Missouri S&T, some of the knowledge gained from textbooks and lab experiments grows obsolete before your first job evaluation.  But learning how to learn, how to think, how to work in teams, and how to thrive in an uncertain world - these are the lessons that endure.

Enhance our core strengths

$59 million

Throughout our 136-year history Missouri S&T graduates have applied their practical knowledge to meet society's challenges and create new paths of understanding.

Enable Emerging Technologies

$28 million.

Missouri S&T has accomplished great things in emerging fields of science and technology in recent years, and is prepared to leverage this intersection of technology and science in fields such as biotechnology and information technology.

Increase Private Grants

$70 million

To solidify Missouri S&T's position as one of the world's great technological universities will require a closer partnership with corporations and agencies who share our vision for a better society and a better-educated work force.
