Join a Student Organization
Students have the opportunity to get involved in a wide variety of extracurricular activities during their time at Carnegie Mellon. For sophomores and juniors, these years are an excellent time to explore a passion area or even try something completely out of their comfort zone. In doing so, they can gain or fine-tune skills, take on a leadership role and continue to build strong connections with their communities at CMU.
Carnegie Mellon is home to 340+ student-run organizations, spanning a variety of interests that also includes Greek Life. Student organizations are invested in building a robust campus life experience and making positive change on campus, in Pittsburgh or globally.
On September 4, 2019, from 4:30 to 6:30 pm on The Cut, students can attend THE FAIR where they will have the opportunity to explore student organizations, as well as our partners within the city of Pittsburgh whose mission is to expose students to outdoor recreation and cultural opportunities within the area.
Students looking to explore the variety of student organizations at CMU can also visit The Bridge, our online organization portal and calendar.
Lunar Gala
Originally created in 1997 to ring in the Chinese New Year, Lunar Gala has transformed into a highly anticipated event that hundreds hope to be part of and thousands hope to come see. While staying true to its original intent, it has developed into a much larger production and has become a more impactful organization to the CMU and Pittsburgh community. Every year, the theme of the show is centered around the Zodiac animal of the lunar calendar.
