Carnegie Mellon University

conversation with Ms. Caris, I learned more about Carnegie Mellon University apart from information posted on the Internet and confirmed my decision that CMU is the dream school that I am eager to attend. Located in Pittsburg, Carnegie Mellon University has an amazing campus of historical and artistic sites, for instance the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. CMU also has students from more than fifty countries even though it only has a population of 10,000 students. Living in a pluralistic environment, I believe while obtaining more attention from professors, I can enlarge my public relation circle to people with various backgrounds. When talking about extracurricular activities, Ms. Caris was very excited to recommend that Carnegie Mellon offers hundreds of clubs that help develop students’ interests in certain area and help release pressure such as intramural sports. Whenever there is a “football game”, she teased, the marching band and the Scottie dog will always attract the most attention from the audience. Spending millions of dollars on advanced facilities…

I would love to further my education at Carnegie Mellon University and study chemical engineering. Carnegie Mellon’s state of the art facilities, concentration on cutting-edge research, and location inside the jubilant city of Pittsburgh combine to make Carnegie my top choice for my upper level education. Over the last summer, my family and I visited the university. We were blown away with the beauty of all of the buildings and the marvels of the high-tech facilities, in particular the computer…

Carnegie Mellon University Rugby Football Club (CMURFC, or the “Rugby Club”) was founded in 1990 by a group of twenty students looking to bring the game of Rugby Union to the university. Its operations were discontinued in 1999 due to a lack of membership and re-established, in its current version, in 2004 after an influx of interested players arrived at Carnegie Mellon. In terms of its structure, the club is managed by an Executive Board made up of six officers, all of which are elected in a…

Andrew Carnegie a Hero?” we must first discuss the time period that he was concerned with. The Gilded Age in United States history is the late 19th century, from the 1870s to about the 1900. It was a time of excess and new awakenings. These awakenings led people to learn new modes of dealing with each other financially, socially, and economically. It was time bliss. Yet, it was a time misconceptions. The Gilded Age and the first years of the twentieth century were a time of great social change…

Project Wise is recruiting younger participants. Along with high school students, children in grades K-5 are also participating in events to display the new skills that they have obtained (DiLisi n.pag.). High school students, especially girls, are the primary target for programs like FREE. Before the completion of the program, the initial percent of girls’ interested was significantly low compared to the results after the program. The results concluded that after more than half the…

There are breaches that often remain unreported. According to Carnegie Mellon University’s records, “For all breaches affecting more than 500 individuals, the Information Security Office will coordinate with covered components to provide notice to HHS [Human Health Services] contemporaneously with the notification of affected individuals” ("HIPAA Breach Notification”). Here, HHS is only notified if a significant number of people are affected and HIPAA must be changed in order to acknowledge…

Have you ever thought of something you always wanted to do before you died? Randy Pausch told the world about his life in his “last lecture”. I really enjoyed the Last Lecture, because it told a story about a life that was ended shortly by cancer. Randy was a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University before his death. He thought before he passed on he needed to create a lecture named “Really achieving your Childhood Dreams”. On September 18, 2007. Randy Pausch was diagnosed with…

without unselfish or clear motives for addressing the subject. In addition to his background he wore a very nice suit which made him appear professional and speaks to his style in addressing an audience. A suit suggests that he considered this talk to be a serious and formal event worthy of dressing up. Then entire speech was backed up by strong logical appeal. At multiple times during his speech Acquisti would center an entire section of the argument around a specific study or academic test…

The Last Lecture is a joint collaboration brought to the world from the minds of both Randy Pausch and Jeffrey Zaslow that made its debut in early 2008. The book reached the New York Times Best Selling list, and stayed for about 112 weeks, which explains the 4.23/ 5 rating received from Goodreads. The book is based on "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams", the last lecture, Pausch was able to perform back in September 2008. The book is essentially about a university professor who summarized…
