Honor a Colleague or Mentor
Are you looking for a way to honor a colleague who has devoted their time, talents, and resources to advancing minerals, metals, and materials? Consider a gift in their name to the TMS Foundation. Because the Foundation nurtures future leaders of science and engineering, a gift to the Foundation in honor of a retiring colleague or in memory of an influential mentor ensures that their work will be continued by future generations.
You can easily identify your contribution as a tribute through the
online Contribution Form. A special tribute card will be sent to your designated recipient.
