The Piper+ September 2010
Full Steam Ahead
It's full steam ahead for Carnegie Mellon President Jared L. Cohon (left) and the Class of 2014, which he greeted along with their families during his official welcome at orientation. CMU's Board of Trustees extended Cohon's term for one year through June 30, 2013, and the president shared his top priorities for the next three years with the university community in a university-wide email in August. His seven priorities are research and educational initiatives; the Pittsburgh campus master plan; the capital campaign; budgeting and financial management; international programs; community success: diversity; and western Pennsylvania impact. The Board of Trustees also extended Executive Vice President and Provost Mark Kamlet's term through June 2013.
