Welcome, Carnegie Mellon Ambassadors

The Carnegie Mellon University story weaves research, creativity, hard work, innovation and a deep-rooted belief in education into a powerful force that is changing the world.

Your ongoing advocacy has immense value and makes a real impact on CMU’s behalf. The stories you find here several times a year will empower you to talk to your friends, families and colleagues about the amazing things happening at CMU.

With the help of our Ambassadors, the story of CMU — an institution poised like no other to have a real and lasting effect on a global society that is rapidly changing — will resonate around the world.

April 2025

In January, as part of our President’s Lecture Series and Deeper Conversations programming, we welcomed long-time The Washington Post foreign affairs columnist David Ignatius to campus. David spoke of the shifting federal landscape; he also reflected on the U.S. presidential election and his long career as a journalist covering politics and foreign affairs.

Fortunately, CMU is uniquely situated to excel in rapidly changing conditions, and our contributions to society continue to grow, as the news clips included in this edition of CMU Ambassadors illustrate.
