Tendai Ushendibaba

Housefellow and Coordinator , Office of Community Standards and Integrity

I started at CMU in 2022

I serve as the process advisor for students participating in the Academic Disciplinary Actions and Community Standards processes. I work predominantly, with students in the School of Computer Science, Deitrich College of Humanities & Social Sciences and the College of Fine Arts. In addition, as a Housefellow, I oversee an upper-class community in the Margaret Morrison neighborhood known as the Intersection. This community comprises Woodlawn, Roselawn Houses and Margaret Morrison Apartments.

During my term, I would like to see staff Council create more opportunities for new staff at CMU to build connections and network with peers, thus creating a sense of belonging for new staff members. I can help make this happen by working collaboratively with staff council and human resources to develop initiatives that create opportunities for new staff to feel connected.

I am currently a member of the DEI+B committee but I am new to staff council and running for the first time.
