Get Involved
While we take your education seriously, we also want you to cultivate a deeper connection to the Heinz College community.
We strive to provide an environment and opportunities for you to engage that connection, both in Hamburg Hall and across the Carnegie Mellon University campus.
There are plenty of ways for you to get involved in campus life outside of the classroom, from joining one of CMU's more than 400 student organizations, to using your student ID to take in a discounted theater performance featuring our rising Broadway stars. Learn about the many opportunities for you to shape your Heinz College experience below.
