Ben Carpenter

Associate Director of Admission, Office of Undergraduate Admission

I began my career at CMU in 2019 and I am part of the team responsible for recruiting each year's incoming class of students, and help to counsel those students and families through every aspect of the admission process. I also help lead the team within our office responsible for the financial aid process for incoming students.

During my term, I would like to see Staff Council continue making Carnegie Mellon a world-class place to work through engagement with a diverse group of folks from across the university. I plan to bring a thoughtful, measured perspective that can work towards innovative and sustainable solutions that benefit the staff community in a multitude of ways.
