I received my check from Rockethub and am now in the process of getting a Banner account through UNM. Despite all the horror stories I’ve heard from other #scifunders, UNM actually wants the money and are making it super easy (thus far!).

I had Rockethub make the check out to UNM Foundation, which handles all gifts and donations. They gave me a form to fill out and get signed by some UNM administration including the Physics department chair and some other people that I have no idea what they do.

Right now I’m in this phase, but according to my sources once I get the signatures required I just give it back to the UNM Foundation and they set up the banner account. Then I get to spend the money!

I’ll be updating my progress on the deposition as well as letting everyone know what the money is going to be spent on as it’s spent! Exciting stuff.
