The Carnegie Mellon Advising Resource Center (CMARC) is an advising and information center that assists students and connects them to appropriate communities, services and opportunities by providing academic planning and one-on-one counsel. Founded as the Carnegie Mellon Action Project (CMAP), CMARC has an additional commitment to support underrepresented ethnic minority students in a setting where students’ differences and talents are guided, appreciated, and reinforced.

Academic Advising

CMARC, working in cooperation with faculty and departmental advisors, strives to promote academic success. The professional program advisors serve as an additional resource when it is necessary to consult with more than one person or to obtain another perspective.

Leadership Development

CMARC seeks to prepare students to make a long term, positive impact in their communities and workplaces. Advisors provide a variety of experiences that educate and train students in decision making and effective leadership principles. Service learning opportunities are also available.

Community Building

CMARC sponsors a host of activities that bring students together across all classes, disciplines, and cultures. This programming helps students personalize their experience and ties them into the fabric of Carnegie Mellon University. They also enable newcomers to acquire useful, informal networks with upper-class students. A prime example of CMARC’s community building is Origins, a two day off-campus pre-orientation program for incoming first year students.
