Spring Carnival is a time-honored tradition at Carnegie Mellon. Alumni and students cheer on the buggy contestants and marvel at the amazing booths created by fraternities, sororities and independent organizations. It is a time to share the Carnegie Mellon experience with family and friends.
Because of its long-standing success and the increased opportunity to interact with students, Carnegie Mellon has moved many of the traditional Homecoming activities (including reunions) to Spring Carnival.
The increased emphasis on Spring Carnival is also an opportunity for Heinz College alumni to share their return to campus with family. We hope you’ll join us April 15-16, 2011, for the many Spring Carnival activities as well as to reconnect with Heinz College and fellow alumni.
