Mitchell Technical College Foundation

Welcome graduates and friends of Mitchell Technical College!

If you are a graduate of Mitchell Technical College, we hope the education and experiences you received here are serving you well. If you are a friend of Mitchell Tech, we welcome you and look forward to great partnerships in Mitchell Tech’s future! The Mitchell Technical College Alumni Association and Foundation are working together to make Mitchell Tech graduates the best they can be!

The Mitchell Technical College Foundation intends to assist the College in this endeavor through individual and corporate philanthropic measures. These gifts will assist in student scholarships and bring state-of-the-art equipment and teachers to the classroom.

Mitchell Technical College’s role is vital in the overall economic well-being of not only the community of Mitchell but also the region. Approximately 86% of our graduates choose to work and live in South Dakota. Almost half of these graduates stay in Mitchell or the James River Valley region. Graduates of Mitchell Tech bring with them technical skills. They also buy homes, raise families, volunteer in the community, become involved in civic initiatives, and increase the tax base. All of these elements are essential to a healthy and prosperous community.

Another role of the Mitchell Tech Foundation is to secure major gifts. These gifts will help fund classrooms and labs to house the technologies necessary for the degrees offered at Mitchell Tech. Your contribution will be an investment in our community’s future.

We would appreciate your consideration of donating to the Mitchell Technical College Foundation today. You can donate in many ways, and we will work with you to meet your objectives.
