Student Involvement & Traditions
At Carnegie Mellon University, work that matters doesn't happen exclusively in the classroom. CMU's Office of Student Involvement and Traditions is the place where meta-curricular, student-led initiatives come to life and shape our community.
From planning memory-making moments to supporting ideas and creativity, we show up for students to help them achieve their goals and initiatives beyond the classroom.
Here's why we would love to work with you ❤️
As professional CMU staff, we bridge university policies, procedures and operations with student ideas and creativity to activate our community partnerships and to help actualize student goals.
We prioritize access to the benefits of our student organization communities for all and ensure that Carnegie Mellon’s parallel commitments to inclusivity and diversity of perspective are reflected in the experiences of individuals within those communities.
We practice high-impact advising — prioritizing relationships and strong communication skills — to create environments where students can celebrate their successes, practice self-efficacy, fail safely and be challenged to lead with integrity.
We work to prepare the next generation of leaders through strategic education and opportunities for experiential learning and reflection.
We celebrate, highlight and amplify student organization and student government communities, including their ideas, events and achievements.
Let's work together
We aim to be accessible. We love questions, and we're here to help you navigate campus — through student organizations, CMU's signature traditions and events, and whatever you can dream up next.
