Carnegie Mellon’s Information Networking Institute (INI) celebrated 15 years of innovation and educational excellence in April.


The event was designed to bring together a cache of outstanding faculty, students, researchers and former INI directors.

Under current Director Dena Haritos Tsamitis, the INI has expanded its programs, increased enrollment and outpaced the competition with a successful mix of internship programs in a variety of industry sectors, including telecommunications, cybersecurity and information technology.

“INI graduates are highly sought after as they pursue technical and management careers and assume leadership positions in global business,” according to Tsamitis, who organized the 15th-anniversary bash.

The INI anniversary festivities also coincided with the university’s Spring Carnival and a CyLab Partners Technical Conference. INI is the educational arm of CyLab, a multidisciplinary entity recently formed to promote secure and trustworthy computing.

In 1989, the INI was created as a cooperative endeavor of Carnegie Mellon’s College of Engineering, the School of Computer Science, the H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management, and the Tepper School of Business.
