Dreaming of a better world? Be a catalyst for change by investing in those who change it.
At CU Boulder’s Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, we understand the profound impact that an engineering degree can have. In a world grappling with climate change, sustainability and global health crises, our department’s work is more crucial than ever to meet the complex issues we face.
We invite you to partner with us today to support the Chemical and Biological Engineering Fund for Excellence. This fund enables the ChBE department to support undergraduate student research and teaching projects lasting a semester or more.
The significance of this support is that:
- It empowers students to bolster their education while gaining valuable experience; and
- It provides participants with the opportunity to engage in more in-depth work with our faculty and students than is possible in a traditional classroom setting.
Programs offering this kind of support are particularly beneficial for first-generation students, who often have challenges in fully engaging with the department and university. We strive to foster an environment where students of all backgrounds can reach their full potential as engineers.
