The Piper is a source for official Carnegie Mellon news from the Internal Communications Department. Published monthly during the academic year, the Piper is dedicated to telling the stories that make Carnegie Mellon an educational institution like no other. Each issue aims to include stories about university research, the people who make that research happen, the students we all support, and the events and activities that make this university and its branch campuses a vibrant place to live, work and learn.
