(Bismarck, ND) -- The University of Mary says it has received its largest single donation in school history.  

The $12-million dollar gift is part of the school's Vision 2030 campaign. Ten million from the Harold Hamm Foundation will go toward naming the Hamm School of Engineering, while two-million from Continental Resources is earmarked to endow what will be named the Continental Resources Monsignor James Shea Chair of Engineering.  

Hamm says the gift from both entities is a serious commitment to the values and mission of the University and the leadership of Monsignor Shea.
