Outreach Efforts

The university and its employees participate in a variety of community support programs and/or organizations such as:

• Intercultural Communication Center - The ICC provides support to help Carnegie Mellon's international students to succeed in their academic programs; to help international TAs and Faculty develop the skills they need to provide effective instruction in an American university; and to help the university and departments to identify and respond to the changing needs of international students.
• Andrew's Leap - The School of Computer Science conducts a summer program for 30 mathematically and computer-literate high school students from Pittsburgh's schools. The 10-week program builds on their earlier exposure to computing.
• Business Services has teamed up with the Community Corrections Center located in the South Side to help individuals in transitional living find employment with dining facilities at the university.
• The Carnegie Mellon Advising Resource Center (CMARC) - CMARC is an advising and information center designed to assist undergraduate students of all majors in their academic and social development from their first year through graduation. As professional advisors, we work individually with students; directing them to the appropriate communities, service providers and other areas of opportunity in order to help them find their place at Carnegie Mellon and make the most of their educational experience. Our primary purpose is to build a supportive, intellectual and social community; bridging the campus’s diverse cultures. We have an additional commitment to support underrepresented ethnic minority students. CMARC is a place where students’ differences and talents are guided, appreciated and reinforced.
• Mellon College of Science Educational Outreach Programs - Mellon College of Science sponsors a variety of science programs or research opportunities for K-12 students. One program in particular is the Westinghouse High School Science and Mathematics Project, a one- week residential program during the summer for tenth graders from George Westinghouse High School, which is located in the Homewood Brushton section of the city. While this program is not exclusively for minority youth, all but one participant over the past 10 years have been African American.
• Mentors Program at the Community Literacy Center - At least 20,000 elementary and secondary school students use materials developed at Carnegie Mellon, or study with teachers who attended in-service programs at the university (at least 600 teachers participate in our "in-service" programs each year).
• Women in Science and Engineering - This program was designed to attract women to the fields of science and engineering. It sponsors activities and career workshops for high school sophomore and junior women, parents and guidance counselors.
