WHY DO I GIVE?
“From the day I started, it was clear that the name Carnegie Mellon would get my foot in the door, but the education it provided would secure my success. Today, I’m working in Hollywood, following my dream, and truly grateful that Carnegie Mellon donors have helped make this all possible.”

Although you may just be starting your career or perhaps pursuing an additional degree, the power and prestige of your Carnegie Mellon degree can open many doors for you. This is just the beginning.
It's never too early to begin creating your legacy at Carnegie Mellon. By giving to Carnegie Mellon every year, you enhance the value of your degree and allow the university to continue investing in its students, faculty and alumni services.
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.
