The connections you make at CMU Silicon Valley can last a lifetime. Whether you're leading a project or just showing up for weekly hangouts, being part of the student community helps you recharge, grow, and shape the experience for yourself and others.

This section is about finding your people, your voice, and your place in the CMU-SV community.

“One moment that really stood out was Halloween night at CMU-SV—talk about a festive surprise! The Student Affairs team went all out with a haunted house, dance party, and the most creative costumes you could imagine. It was such a blast, and it really made you feel like a kid again, only this time, surrounded by some of the coolest people from all over the world. It’s these little touches that make CMU-SV feel like a global family, always keeping our spirits up no matter what’s going on academically.” - Sahaana Das, III, MSSM Fall 2025 Grad
