Why CMU?: “CMU welcomed me with open arms the first time I walked on campus, it truly felt like home from the first time I was there and every time I came back to visit. I found so much joy in meeting the team and knowing I was surrounded with tons of support and amazing people who want to help me grow with them. I see a good future and fit for myself at CMU and know the community will be beside me every step of the way.”
