It has always fostered a close connection of industry, the physical and social sciences, the humanities and the arts to educate practical and critical thinkers and leaders. Today, it is a global leader bringing groundbreaking ideas to market and creating successful start-up businesses. The faculty members are renowned for working closely with students to solve and research major scientific, technological and societal challenges. The University puts a strong emphasis on creating things—from art to robots. Our students are recruited by some of the world’s most innovative companies and we have over 86,500 alumni in nearly 130 countries around the world and a total of 79 alumni chapters worldwide. Carnegie Mellon is the only school founded in the United States by industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, who wrote the time-honored words, "My heart is in the work," when he donated the funds to create Carnegie Technical Schools in 1900 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1912, the schools, including the School of Architecture, became the Carnegie Institute of Technology, highly regarded for both the arts and technology. A merger with the Mellon Institute–the nation’s first major research institute–created Carnegie Mellon University in 1967. Today, Carnegie Mellon is a national research University of about 11,500 students and 5,000 faculty, research and administrative staff. Carnegie Mellon is a diverse blend of academic disciplines. The University consists of seven colleges and schools: the College of Fine Arts, the Carnegie Institute of Technology (engineering), the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Mellon College of Science, the Tepper School of Business, the School of Computer Science and the H. John Heinz III College (Public Policy & Information Systems). It has become a international leader in technological fields such as computer science, robotics and engineering. From its inception it has had a strong emphasis on the applied and practical arts and trades, as well as the fine arts. Its position of leadership in both the arts and in technology is unusual in higher education today. President Jared L. Cohon, the University's president since 1997, has led the implementation of a comprehensive strategic plan that aims to leverage the University's existing strengths to benefit society in the areas of biotechnology and the life sciences, information and security technology, environmental science and the arts and humanities. In the last decade, Carnegie Mellon has expanded beyond its Pittsburgh home with campuses in California's Silicon Valley and Qatar and programs in Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe and Mexico. The University is in the midst of a $1 billion fundraising campaign, titled "Inspire Innovation: The Campaign for Carnegie Mellon University," which aims to build its endowment, support faculty, students and innovative research and enhance the physical campus with equipment and facility improvements. The campaign is currently nearing its goal. Businessman, scholar, philanthropist and longtime CMU trustee William S. Dietrich II announced a plan in September 2011 to provide a record- breaking gift of a $265 million fund to support CMU. It is the largest gift in CMU's history and one of the ten largest by an individual to a private higher education institution in the United States. The fund will be a catalyst for CMU’s global initiatives and its fusion of left-brain and right-brain thinking. It will enhance studies connecting technology and the arts, as well as future academic initiatives such as undergraduate and graduate programs, scholarship, artistic creation and research. The University is also committed to broadening and enhancing undergraduate education to allow students to explore various disciplines while maintaining a core focus in their primary area of study. Inter-disciplinary study, liberal arts classes and practicum-based training are encouraged to accompany more tightly focused majors. Realizing that today's graduates must understand international issues, Carnegie Mellon is committed to providing a global education for its students and is striving to expand its international offerings and increase its presence on a global scale. There are 3,640 international students (28.7%), hailing from 100 countries outside the U.S., giving Carnegie Mellon one of the most international student bodies, by percentage, anywhere. Increasing diversity in all aspects and fostering the economic development of southwestern Pennsylvania are also top priorities. Carnegie Mellon University | School of Architecture Architecture Program Report For The 2012 NAAB Visit For Continuing Accreditation | Page 1 Part One | Institutional Support and Commitment To Continuous Improvement Excerpts from the University’s Strategic Plan (2008): Carnegie Mellon will meet the changing needs of society by building on its traditions of innovation, problem solving and interdisciplinarity. University Mission Statement: The mission of Carnegie Mellon is to create and disseminate knowledge and art through research and creative inquiry, teaching and learning and to transfer our intellectual and artistic product to enhance society in meaningful and sustainable ways; to serve our students by teaching them problem solving, leadership and teamwork skills and the value of a commitment to quality, ethical behavior and respect for others and to achieve these ends by pursuing the advantages of a diverse and relatively small University community, open to the exchange of ideas, where discovery, creativity and personal and professional development can flourish. The six pillars of the strategic plan are: Research & Artistic Creation; Education & Student Life; Regional Impact; Globalization & International Initiatives; Carnegie Mellon University Community Success and Finance & Infrastructure College of Fine Arts: The College of Fine Arts (CFA) at Carnegie Mellon University has its roots in 1900, when the institution was first founded as the Carnegie Technical Schools. The School of Fine and Applied Arts was one of the original four schools within Carnegie Technical Schools and would later become the College of Fine Arts. Officially founded in 1905 as the first comprehensive arts learning institution in the United States, CFA has educated outstanding artists, architects, designers, theater artists and musicians who have made important contributions to culture in the United States and the world for almost a century. The College of Fine Arts concentrates on the education of professionals in the arts in the broader context

In addition to developing human capital and advancing technology, they are increasingly expected to participate as economic development partners with industry and local, state, and national governments. Models such as the “Triple Helix” have been advanced to frame the assessment of interactions among academia, industry, and govern- ments that may foster economic development. Such models highlight the boundary-spanning roles of universities and provide a predetermined list of actions universities could take to strengthen their eco- system. Unfortunately, the flexible and entrepreneurial management of universities required to make this model work has virtually been ignored in the academic literature. We propose the dynamic capa- bilities framework to guide how universities might manage their innovation ecosystems. We use this framework to analyze the role of the university throughout the ecosystem lifecycle.

Hess, Crisci Associates June 9, 2008 PA Environment Digest Video Blog PA Fair Share Coalition Asks Gov. Rendell to Keep Commitment on Bay Cleanup In a letter this week to Gov. Rendell, the PA Fair Share for Clean Water Coalition asked the Governor to keep his commitment to help sewer system ratepayers and farmers finance improvements needed to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus pollution going to the Chesapeake Bay by supporting the PA Fair Share for Clean Water Plan . The PA Fair Share for Clean Water Coalition includes the Pennsylvania Municipal Authorities Association, Pennsylvania Farm Bureau, Pennsylvania Builders Association, Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and a growing list of 26 other environmental, business and local government groups. “Last December Gov. Rendell made a commitment to the Chesapeake Executive Council to convince the General Assembly to provide state funding to meet nutrient reduction requirements when the federal government provided funding,” said Matthew Ehrhart, Pennsylvania Executive Director for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. “Congress has now acted by passing the federal Farm Bill which provides Bay states with $440 million to help comply with these mandates and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency just increased Pennsylvania’s funding for clean water projects by $20 million.” “Pennsylvania’s entire Congressional Delegation was involved in the Farm Bill effort, but we would especially like to thank U.S. Senator Bob Casey and Congressmen Tim Holden for their leadership on this issue,” said Ehrhart. “Now we hope Gov.
