WHY DO I GIVE?
“Today, I’m working with technology companies including EDS, Oracle, PeopleSoft, SAP and Sun Microsystems. And my Carnegie Mellon experience is still helping me every day. Beyond just the ‘know-how,’ Carnegie Mellon has provided the networks and the opportunities that I could not have received anywhere else.”

As a graduate of Carnegie Mellon, you know first hand that the university has a leading reputation for combining technology, business, public policy and the arts to create innovations with global impact.
But what you might not know is that gifts from alumni like you have a tremendous impact on the educational experience the university offers.
The alumni giving participation rate - that is, the percentage of alumni who give annually, not the total amount given - is an important measure that U.S. News & World Report and other publications use to establish university rankings.
In other words, giving to Carnegie Mellon every year has a direct impact on the value of each degree, including yours.
