Community Day a Time to Connect, Reflect and Have Fun

Carnegie Mellon’s inaugural Community Day, designed to bring together students, faculty, staff and alumni to connect, reflect, restore and have fun, will be Friday, Oct. 25.

All classes will be canceled in Pittsburgh to allow the community to take part in a variety of activities, including a fireside chat with one of CMU’s famous alumni, a presentation about lessons learned from the Life@CMU Project and opportunities to join discussions about the CMU experience. There also will be a free community picnic lunch, a showcase of Tartan talent with performances throughout the day, and plenty of other fun events and activities.

Community Day was initiated by the Task Force on the CMU Experience, which was convened in 2016 to closely examine the Carnegie Mellon experience and take action to enhance a community in which all members can engage, build resilience and thrive. Celebratory days like Founders Day and the Presidential Inauguration galvanized the Task Force’s commitment to shape an annual tradition the entire campus community could adopt.
