    CMU Weekly Update: Startup Jobs Fair, Silicon Valley Converge, and DARPA Triage Robotics Challenge Highlights
    Sep 22 2025
    Good afternoon, Tartans! It's Monday, September 22, 2025, and here's what's happening this week at Carnegie Mellon University. This Thursday, September 25, from 5 to 8:30 p.m., the CMU SPARK 2025 Startup Jobs Fair will take place as part of CMU Startup Week. Hosted in McConomy Auditorium and Legacy Plaza, this event features rapid-fire tech talks from startups founded by CMU alumni, showcasing their innovations and available roles. It's an excellent opportunity for students interested in working at startups to connect with potential employers. On Friday, September 26, from 1 to 4 p.m. Pacific Time, CMU Converge Silicon Valley 2025 will be held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. This flagship event connects graduate students, alumni, faculty, and forward-thinking employers, focusing on innovation and collaboration at the intersection of engineering and impact. Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, collectively known as Team Chiron, are advancing in the Department of Defense's DARPA Triage Challenge. This competition aims to develop autonomous systems for assessing injuries and monitoring vital signs in disaster scenarios. The next round is scheduled for September 27 to October 4 in Georgia. Success in this challenge could further solidify Pittsburgh's reputation as a hub for robotics and emergency response technology. That's all for today's update. Stay engaged and make the most of these opportunities. Have a great week, Tartans!

  • CMU News: AI Breakthroughs, Tuition-Free Aid, Robotics Innovation & Andrew Carnegie Honored in Pittsburgh

    CMU News: AI Breakthroughs, Tuition-Free Aid, Robotics Innovation & Andrew Carnegie Honored in Pittsburgh
    Sep 16 2025
    Good morning, Tartans! It's Monday, September 15, 2025, and you're tuned into the latest episode of our campus news podcast. Let's dive into the top stories making waves at Carnegie Mellon University. First up, a significant partnership is set to advance artificial intelligence research and education. BNY Mellon and Carnegie Mellon University have announced a five-year, $10 million agreement to establish the BNY AI Lab. This collaboration aims to develop robust AI applications, particularly in financial services, and will provide a dedicated space on campus for joint research and educational projects. In related news, Pittsburgh recently hosted the AI Horizons event, bringing together CMU leaders, AI innovators, and industry experts. The summit focused on transitioning AI from concept to real-world applications in sectors like healthcare, manufacturing, and finance. Highlights included discussions on Pittsburgh's role as a burgeoning AI hub and the intersection of art and AI, showcased through the multimedia project "The Endless Mile." On the academic front, CMU's Heinz College has launched a new Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence Systems Management program. This initiative is designed to equip professionals with the skills needed to integrate AI into critical decision-making processes, addressing the growing demand for expertise in this field. In other developments, CMU and the University of Pittsburgh have joined forces in the DARPA Triage Challenge, a three-year, $7 million competition aimed at innovating emergency response robotics. The collaborative team, known as Team Chiron, recently conducted successful tests using robots and drones to navigate simulated disaster scenarios, enhancing response times during critical situations. Shifting to campus life, the CMU Pathway Program is set to begin in the 2025-26 academic year. This initiative ensures that undergraduate students from families earning less than $75,000 annually can attend CMU tuition-free, while those from families earning less than $100,000 can do so without federal student loans. It's a significant step toward making quality education more accessible. In cultural news, the Pittsburgh Walk of Fame is honoring Andrew Carnegie with a star, sparking discussions about his complex legacy. While celebrated for his philanthropy, including the founding of Carnegie Mellon University, some critics point to controversial aspects of his past. The induction ceremony is scheduled for October 20 at the Strip District Terminal. Finally, looking ahead, the inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit is set for July 15 at Carnegie Mellon University. Hosted by Senator Dave McCormick, the summit will feature former President Donald Trump and aims to explore the intersection of AI, energy, and economic development. That's all for today's episode. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, keep striving for excellence.

  • CMU Cuts Costs Amid Federal Funding Shifts, Triage Tech Advances, and Carnegie’s Contested Legacy Highlight Campus News

    CMU Cuts Costs Amid Federal Funding Shifts, Triage Tech Advances, and Carnegie’s Contested Legacy Highlight Campus News
    Sep 8 2025
    Good afternoon, Tartans! It's Monday, September 8, 2025, and welcome back to campus. Let's dive into the latest news and updates from Carnegie Mellon University. First, let's talk about the weather. Today in Pittsburgh, we're experiencing mostly sunny skies with temperatures reaching a high of 75°F (24°C) this afternoon. This morning started off with some fog, but it has cleared up, making way for a beautiful day. In university news, CMU is taking proactive steps to address the evolving federal funding landscape. President Farnam Jahanian recently announced a reduction of $33 million in expenses to ensure the university's financial health remains strong. These measures include pausing merit increases, limiting new hires to strategic needs, and, in some cases, offering voluntary retirement programs. The university emphasizes that broad layoffs are not planned and remain a measure of last resort. On the research front, CMU researchers, in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh, are participating in the DARPA Triage Challenge. This three-year, $7 million competition aims to develop autonomous systems for emergency medical response. The team, known as Team Chiron, recently conducted successful tests at Pittsburgh International Airport, utilizing robots and drones to navigate simulated disaster scenarios and triage victims. The next phase of the competition is scheduled for late September in Georgia. In other news, the Pittsburgh Walk of Fame is honoring Andrew Carnegie with a star, sparking debate over how to reconcile his philanthropic legacy with his controversial past. Alongside figures like Fred Rogers, August Wilson, Rachel Carson, and Jonas Salk, Carnegie will receive a bronze star in the city’s Strip District. However, critics point to his involvement in the violent Homestead Strike, support for eugenics research, and link to the Johnstown Flood as reasons his legacy should be scrutinized. The induction ceremony is set for October 20 at the Strip District Terminal. That's all for today's update. Stay tuned for more news and events happening around campus. Have a great day, Tartans!
