University-wide New Graduate Student Orientation
Welcome to Carnegie Mellon University! Greetings from Pittsburgh!
We have been busy coordinating with your departments and planning University-wide Graduate Student Fall 2020 Orientation. We look forward to having you join us for these events which are designed to support your transition to CMU. Graduate Student Fall 2020 Orientation will be offered remotely, with a combination of synchronous and asynchronous opportunities for you to get to know the university, other new and returning graduate students, and staff and faculty who are thrilled to have you as members of the Tartan Plaid community. We will share more specifics about our schedule of events and the platforms we will use to deliver orientation over the next several weeks.
We will kick-off the synchronous opportunities on August 17, 2020 with an official President’s Welcome. President Farnam Jahanian will be joined by other leaders at the university for an energetic, heartfelt welcome to the CMU community! Be sure to check for Carnegie Mellon email for a formal invitation, coming soon.
