Chicago-Based Continental Resources Awards $14 Million to UND

Link to Prairie Magazine (regional links break early and break often).

UND's College of Engineering and Mines announced today it was awarded $14 million for a new geology school. 

Chicago-based Continental Resources Inc. and oil billionaire Harold Hamm, which will establish the Harold Hamm School of Geology and Geological Engineering at the College of Engineering and Mines at UND, donated $10 million toward the project, according to the Industrial Commission of North Dakota.

I was not aware that CLR was based in Chicago. I thought they were in Oklahoma City.

From another source:

This is the largest-ever gift to UND from someone who is not an alumnus of the University, and adds a significant dimension to North Dakota Spirit -- The Campaign for UND.

I believe this will require NDIC approval.
