Carole M Panno

Associate Director, Development, University Initiatives

Food Drive Committee Chair

I started at CMU 1993

I meet with alumni, parents, and friends of the university to provide engagement and - ultimately - to secure philanthropic support. In addition, I work on special programs and initiatives - often involving volunteers - with the same ultimate goal of securing funds for CMU.

During my term, I would like to see Staff Council continue our important work of bringing staff concerns and issues to the administration, bridging any gaps, and spearheading solutions. In addition, it's also important for Council to continue our initiatives that support both the campus and larger Pittsburgh community, including Carnegie Mellon's Annual Food Drive, which I've proudly led as a chair or co-chair for many years.

As an at-large representative running for re-election, I would be honored and proud to continue my broader service on Staff Council, as well as continue in my specific committee roles leading the annual Food Drive and participating on the Communications Committee.

I was born on Leap Day and - therefore - am still a teenager!
