This Spring 2022, we at UNM Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering are extremely privileged and honored to have one of our most successful alums, Doug Campbell, pledge $5 million to support our dream and efforts to build a world-class program to teach the next generation of New Mexico civil, environmental, and construction engineers, and construction managers. We are very honored to have the department named after one of our legendary faculty, Dr. Gerald May, who also served as UNM School of Engineering dean, and UNM president. This incredibly generous gift makes us as close as ever to achieving our 12 in 12 campaign goal of raising $12 million for UNM CCEE by 2030. We are now $3.5 million from our goal, and we've inspired the School of Engineering to launch a comprehensive campaign called Our Time. Together we're attempting to raise $50 million by 2025. Our faculty and students progress in all facets of civil, construction, and environmental engineering, solving community problems, learning from experience in the field, and leading national and international efforts to make a better tomorrow.
