Retaining and Enhancing a World-Class Faculty
Our professors choose Carnegie Mellon for its singular environment – the best departments in their fields, exceptional colleagues who collaborate across departmental boundaries, and an entrepreneurial culture unlike anywhere else.
We often look at issues and challenges before anyone else. However, U.S. federal funding for this groundbreaking work has been more difficult to come by in recent years. The irony is that once our faculty show the world that these are the paths of the future, their work attracts many funders.
Our entrepreneurial faculty members spend significant amounts of time searching for resources to support their research. With additional financial support, they could even double the fruits of their work.
Donors have begun to provide the capital to make this exciting work happen. You are the key to fueling and accelerating innovation.
Our Goal: $350 Million in Faculty Support
Fulfilling our goal in supporting Carnegie Mellon faculty would mean new:
- Endowed Faculty Chairs
- Start-Up Funds for New Faculty
- Gifts for Research and Academic Pursuits
