Welcome to CMARC

CMARC is an advising and information center designed to assist undergraduate students of all majors in their academic and social development from their first year through graduation. As professional advisors, we work individually with students; directing them to appropriate community service providers and other areas of opportunity in order to make the most of their educational experience and find their place at Carnegie Mellon.

Our primary purpose is to build a supportive, intellectual and social community; bridging the campus’s diverse cultures. We have an additional commitment to support underrepresented ethnic minority students. CMARC is a place where students; differences and talents are guided, appreciated and reinforced.
