Carnegie Mellon University’s Commitment to Community Engagement
Since Andrew Carnegie founded the Carnegie Technical Schools to educate the children of Pittsburgh factory workers, community engagement has been part of CMU’s “DNA.” But it’s not just part of our past. It’s a critical part of how we operate today.
During the last academic year, CMU students volunteered over 63,000 hours, raised over $122,000 for local food security, and mentored over 6,000 high school students in computer science – and those are just a few examples.
Find out more about how CMU is positively impacting the society, culture and economy of our regional, national and global communities.
