This is for Now. This is for Ever. This is for the School of Engineering.

 For Tackling Grand Challenges and Developing Future Engineers

Engineers transform ideas into reality, shape our daily lives, and design how our future works and what it looks like. Ole Miss Engineering develops leaders who can address today’s most pressing challenges, from infrastructure to clean water, energy, cybersecurity, and health care. We are Mississippi’s oldest school of engineering, and this legacy equips us to meet all that the future demands.

The School of Engineering is preparing today’s generation of students to meet tomorrow’s challenges. Your support today will help recruit talented faculty and students with the promise of indelible impact, and provide the spaces and programs they need to succeed and propel the University’s R1 status forward, now and ever.

Your gift goes further on Giving Day! Several members of the Ole Miss Family are challenging you to make a difference in the lives of Engineering students. Maximize your impact by answering these challenges and helping us unlock critical resources. Your gift - no matter the size - makes a difference. 

It’s easy to give! Ole Miss Giving Day accepts Apple Pay, Venmo, PayPal, and all major credit cards.
