First-Year Summer Communications
Our first priority is to support your successful transition to life in college. You and your family members will receive a series of communications throughout the summer, including a weekly summer newsletter called Talking Tartan, which will share campus resources and information, introduce you to the people who make CMU exceptional, and uncover the unique, quirky aspects of your new community. Through this newsletter and other communications, you’ll learn more about the academic transition, CMU’s ethic of care, building lasting relationships, our values of diversity, equity and inclusion, and so much more.
Communications will be posted here as they are sent throughout the summer.
