From stages to startups and literary journals to hockey rinks — Carnegie Mellon University’s inaugural class of Tartans on the Rise is just getting started in changing the world.
And the university community can’t wait to see what its members will achieve next.
Tartans on the Rise celebrates recent alumni who are making an impact in their organizations and in their communities, across the nation and around the world through leadership, innovation and career achievements.
“I join the entire Carnegie Mellon University community in celebrating the inaugural class of Tartans on the Rise and all that they have accomplished so far,” said CMU President Farnam Jahanian. “These extraordinary Tartans represent some of our most promising recent alumni, who are pushing boundaries in science, the arts, business, technology, health care, inclusion and so much more. I am tremendously excited by all that they’ll make possible in the decades to come through their passion, creativity and leadership.”
This year’s Tartans on the Rise class represents a diverse and talented alumni body that is working to elevate industries, communities and people everywhere.
“Our recent alumni truly are making a global impact right now,” said David Coulter (TPR 1971), chair of CMU’s Board of Trustees. “I look forward to the bold breakthroughs these talented Tartans will continue to pursue and the innovative solutions they will create as they shape a brighter future for all.”
The 2022 cohort includes alumni who have founded multiple companies, including one unicorn startup, as well as those who have received a Grammy Award, a National Endowment for the Arts Poetry Fellowship and a Fulbright fellowship.
These are alumni who have contributed to the work of NASA, the U.S. State Department and the Department of Homeland Security and have been recognized by the World Economic Forum, the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health.
They are bringing energy to underdeveloped communities; improving outcomes for children with congenital heart defects; inspiring others through their art and creativity; creating more diverse and inclusive companies and communities; ensuring health care supply lines meet the needs of patients; disrupting transportation to create a more sustainable future; empowering game creators and social innovators through immersive media; and defining industries such as sports analytics and electronic music design.
“CMU’s Tartans on the Rise embody the creative, visionary and entrepreneurial spirit of our alumni,” said Teresa Trombetta (HNZ 2018), assistant vice president for alumni and constituent engagement. “I am so thrilled to celebrate their contributions and so proud to call them members of our Tartan community.”
Accomplished alumni who have graduated from the university within the past 20 years are eligible to be recognized in Tartans on the Rise. While this inaugural class was selected by university leadership, nominations for future classes will be open to members of the CMU community.
