2 - CMU Voices - A Study of Inclusion & Climate Experiences

On Sunday, you received an email invitation to participate in Carnegie Mellon's Voices Study. The study is intended to help university leadership, including the President's Task Force on Campus Climate, understand students' experiences related to individual identities and the diversity and inclusion of the campus environment.  

The Voices Study expands upon the previous DASH (Discriminatory and Sexual Harassment) Study by incorporating additional campus climate and engagement indicators researched and developed by the National Institute for Transformation and Equity. Results of this study will inform educational initiatives and planning in our continued efforts toward creating a campus environment that engages and supports students across all backgrounds and experiences.

3 - Horizons Fellowship

The Horizons Fellowship is a fully-funded technology immersion fellowship for top university students from around the world. As technology continues to play a larger role on the world stage, whether it be in business, politics, art etc., we have been reaching out to various Carnegie Mellon University clubs to encourage students to gain a solid technical foundation. 

Past Horizonites have come from schools like Harvard, Princeton, UPenn/Wharton, Columbia, and more. We've had engineers, business students, liberal arts majors and designers take our program - they've gone on to receive product management, engineering, and venture capital offers from firms such as Google, Zappos.com, Yelp, Optimizely, Redfin, Insight Venture Partners, and Slack. Others are winning global hackathons and building their own startup ideas.

Saludos,

Julián
