In-Person Events
They are Carnegie Mellon’s most cherished traditions and part of the fabric that weaves the many generations of Tartans together. No matter your class year, these events are just so CMU.
Spring Carnival
For more than 100 years, Spring Carnival has been one of the most anticipated weekends of the year. Tartans from around the world return to campus to carry on events like Booth, Buggy, MOBOT, Scotch’n’Soda performances and much more.
Each fall, the CMU community puts on their best Tartan for a weekend of family-friendly activities like the annual CMU Alumni Awards, campus tours, Buggy previews and the tailgate and football game.
During Spring Carnival, Tartans celebrating their Reunion year join exclusive events, opportunities to connect — and reconnect — with peers and create new memories at CMU.
Each year, Carnegie Mellon honors a group of exceptional alumni who have made an impact on their industries, their communities, their alma mater and lives around the world at this special event during Homecoming Weekend.
President Farnam Jahanian visits different cities throughout the year to meet Tartans across the country and share Carnegie Mellon’s inspiring vision for the future. Faculty members share cutting-edge research and alumni have a chance to network with each other and university leadership.
Every year, we celebrate the recent alumni who are making an impact in their organizations and in their communities, across the nation and around the world through leadership, innovation and career achievements.
