Gifts to Scanning Electron Microscope Endowment contribute to...
The Physics Department at Hamline University has set a fundraising goal of $50,000 during Piper Funding Week to strengthen the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) Endowed Fund. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we are now just $72,000 away from the endowment goal of $400,000.
Triple Your Impact Today! The first $15,000 in gifts will be tripled by generous anonymous matching donors!
Since its installation in November 2020, the Zeiss EVO 15 Environmental SEM has been a cornerstone of research and education at Hamline, benefiting students, faculty, and staff across a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, biochemistry, chemistry, digital media arts, forensic science, physics, and more. This powerful instrument plays a crucial role in cutting-edge research on batteries, supercapacitors, and solar cells, contributing to solutions for pressing environmental challenges. It has also supported EPA-awarded national student design competitions and outreach programs such as the Renewable Energy Innovations Workshop for high school science educators, as well as Renewable Energy Camp and Microscope Adventure Camp for high school students.
Join us in preserving this invaluable resource. Make a gift today and help us reach our $50,000 goal!
For inquiries or more information, please contact Professor Lifeng Dong at ldong03@hamline.edu.
*Any dollars raised over our goal will go toward strengthening the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) Endowed Fund.
