The new school of geology and geological engineering will be part of UND's existing college of engineering and mining, documents say. It will be named for Hamm, who is worth almost $10 billion as the majority shareholder in Continental. Forbes magazine ranks Hamm 35th on its list of the 400 richest Americans. ... The money will be used to equip the new college with advanced laboratory gear and an image library, boost pay for its faculty members and provide student scholarships.
There already exists a School of Geology and Geological Engineering at UND, but it will be renamed the Harold Hamm School of Geology and Geological Engineering.
