Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar (CMU-Q), a Qatar Foundation partner, has introduced a new alumni association board, establishing a dedicated leadership body to strengthen alumni ties, foster collaboration, and support the Tartan community.
The newly formed board reflects the campus’s academic breadth and history, bringing together graduates from 15 years of cohorts and representing four CMU-Q academic programmes. “Our alumni are our greatest ambassadors,” said Michael Trick, dean of CMU-Q. “Establishing the Alumni Association Board will strengthen lifelong connections and create new opportunities for our graduates to engage, collaborate, and give back to the CMU-Q community.”
Fadhel Annan, associate dean for strategic engagement, emphasised the importance of deepening community ties: “The Alumni Association Board marks an important milestone in strengthening alumni engagement, fostering lifelong connections, and creating meaningful opportunities for collaboration and mentorship.”
The board is led by president Sheikh Mohammad bin Faisal al-Thani (Business Administration 2011), alongside vice presidents for Biological Sciences, Dr Abdulrahman al-Subaiey (2017); Business Administration, Dr Sara al-Asmakh (2009); Computer Science, Fatima Youssef (2025); and Information Systems, Dr Eman al-Kuwari (2014). The leadership team is completed by treasurer Amiko Gogitidze (Business Administration 2024) and secretary Ramsey Massouh (Business Administration 2011).
Carnegie Mellon’s Education City campus opened in 2004, and its alumni network now includes more than 1,500 young professionals, most of whom work in Qatar.
