More than 350 alumni from Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar (CMU-Q), a Qatar Foundation (QF) partner university, returned to campus to reconnect and network at a reunion for all graduates.
There have been 15 classes to graduate from CMU-Q, beginning with the Class of 2008.
A total of more than 1,100 students have graduated from the Qatar campus.
CMU-Q dean Michael Trick congratulated the graduates on how they are shaping Qatar and the world around them.
“At the CMU-Q, you learned to find the work that matters to you, and to transform that into work that matters for the world,” he said.
CMU-Q graduates work at top organisations in Qatar and around the world, including multinational corporations, government institutions, service organisations, healthcare providers, and startups that they have created.
Many CMU-Q graduates pursue further studies in fields such as healthcare, technology, science, business and the arts.
Carnegie Mellon University president Farnam Jahanian also noted the impact that CMU alumni have made.
“The CMU-Q community enriches our entire university with new ideas, new ways of thinking and an obvious passion for learning,” the official said. “You represent the kind of globally-focused innovation that is needed in the world today.”
Alumni speakers included entrepreneur Asma al-Kuwari, a business administration alumna from the Class of 2011, and Dorde Popovic, a computer science graduate from the Class of 2022.
To showcase how CMU-Q alumni are having an impact on Qatar and the world, the CMU-Q has created an online magazine of accomplishments, *Work that Matters, at alumni.qatar.cmu.edu
The current issue focuses on entrepreneurship.
