A recent article on the Computerworld website named Carnegie Mellon University to the top ten in a list of the top 56 IT schools to watch in 2008 for IT graduate programs.
The article speaks to Carnegie Mellon's reputation of being one of the most innovative universities with respect to interdisciplinary curricula and masters programs with a "professional" focus.
120 graduates of the MISM and MSIT programs received their diplomas at a ceremony led by Dean Mark G. Wessel on Saturday afternoon, May 17, 2008. Student speaker Harish Murthy noted that one of his most valuable lessons at Carnegie Mellon was understanding that by learning from each other's experience you can also help each other to succeed.
Rohit Chawla was the recipient of the student leadership award; Tanaji Naik and Yunfeng Shi received teaching assistant awards; and MISM Program Director Sean Beggs received the staff excellence award. Lynne Pastor was award the teaching excellence award and also delivered the charge to the graduates.
At the university wide ceremony on Sunday morning our students were inspired by Randy Pausch and Al Gore.
The goal of Carnegie Mellon's ISM programs is to prepare the next generation of technology managers to lead enterprises in innovative ways.
Schooled in the inter-disciplinary Carnegie Mellon tradition and trained as analytical problem solvers, our graduates create value for organizations and society through the intelligent application of technology.
