The Alumni Knowledge Archive is a Mines Online program comprising of video interviews with Mines alumni who have at least five years of work experience. We make these interviews available to our faculty and staff developers, who select clips to use in our Online graduate programs and in continuing education courses to help bring learning to life.
If you graduated with any degree from Mines, have at least five years of experience in the working world, and have an interest in sharing your expertise, we’d love to hear from you. We’re particularly interested in finding alumni who can share their insights in:
- Energy systems and related challenges;
- Executive training;
- Digital shifts.
We customize the questions to your experience. You might share:
- Practical examples that help our faculty explain the ‘why’ to students;
- Teach a short lesson on managing projects or another ‘soft’ skill;
- Guidance on a technical skill;
- Or insights into big issues impacting the world or a specific STEM field.
Steps involved
- Use the Volunteer platform to let us know you're interested.
- We'll reach out to schedule a 20 minute pre-interview.
- During the pre-interview (phone, or Teams), we'll answer any questions you might have and help you to brainstorm what you'll actually talk about during the interview.
- We'll schedule an interview, either on campus, at your office (if you live within 30 miles of Mines), or online.
- The interview itself usually lasts around an hour.
- After your interview, we'll trim it into shorter clips to share with faculty and staff learning developers.
