About Student Activities

Our office partners with students to create a vibrant culture of student life on the Carnegie Mellon campus. Our community boasts over 270 recognized student organizations that are supported by the Student Activities staff team. In addition to serving as individual advisors to many organizations and providing resources, support, and ad hoc advising to all student organizations, our office also coordinates a slate of opportunities to help Carnegie Mellon students get involved in campus life.
