Carnegie Mellon University

Welcome, Carnegie Mellon Ambassadors

The Carnegie Mellon University story weaves research, creativity, hard work, innovation and a deep-rooted belief in education into a powerful force that is changing the world.

Your ongoing advocacy has immense value and makes a real impact on CMU’s behalf. The stories you find here several times a year will empower you to talk to your friends, families and colleagues about the amazing things happening at CMU.

With the help of our Ambassadors, the story of CMU — an institution poised like no other to have a real and lasting effect on a global society that is rapidly changing — will resonate around the world.

August 2024

The Class of 2028 has arrived, an exceptional group of students who have enlivened our campus with their infectious curiosity and energy. This was another successful recruiting year, exceeding our goals for both size and quality of the class, and it was gratifying to recently be named to Forbes’ list of “New Ivies.” The magazine surveyed hiring managers, who ranked us in the top 10 private universities graduating intelligent, talented and ambitious future leaders whom employers are eager to recruit. It’s little wonder students and their families continue to show incredible interest in a CMU education.

At the core of this growing reputational recognition is a focus on the four pillars of our strategic vision. If you have been to one of our recent events across the country, then you’ve heard me talk about how these priorities are guiding our community’s work, as well as the investments we are making to increase our impact. In this CMU Ambassadors edition, I’m pleased to share stories of recent successes in these areas.
