Be in Your Element

Donors to Elements of Success, groups and individuals, can purchase sponsorship of one or more of the elements in the periodic table. For a gift of $250 from individuals or $1,250 from organizations and businesses, donors can select the elements that seem most appropriate to their individual interests (for example, a jeweler might purchase Au, gold).

An actual periodic table of the elements has been constructed and plaques denoting the donors or commemorating the individuals of their choice is proudly on display in the main hallway of Clark Hall, the chemistry building. The completed table is about six feet by four feet and is both educational and handsome; and hundreds of students, staff and faculty pass by the Elements of Success each day.

Each donor will receive a certificate indicating official UNM ownership of the selected element. Most importantly, donors will experience the deep satisfaction of knowing that they have played a vital role in improving the undergraduate experience in chemistry.
