Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) is a global research university with more than 13,200 students, 100,000 alumni and 5,000 faculty and staff.

CMU has been a birthplace of innovation since its founding in 1900.

<li>For 2014-2015, the Times Higher Education of London ranked CMU No. 24 in the world, and No. 17 among U.S. universities.</li>

<li>In a 2010 Wall Street Journal poll, job recruiters looking for new hires ranked CMU No. 1 in computer science, No. 4 in finance and No. 7 in business. CMU ranked 10 overall.</li>

<li>CMU is one of the only 25 universities in the world, 11 in the U.S., invited to join the World Economic Forum's Global University Leaders Forum. Business members of the Forum include the world's top 1,000 companies who drive the economy forward, and who collaborate on shaping global, regional and industry agendas.</li>

<li>Thirty-five percent of CMU’s students are from 115 countries outside the U.S., giving the university one of the 10 most international student bodies, by percentage, among four-year U.S. institutions.  </li>

<li>CMU has helped to greenlight more than 1,000 companies, creating jobs across the U.S. and internationally, with the highest concentrations in Pittsburgh, Silicon Valley and India.</li>

<li>CMU is a world leader in robotics. Software that guides NASA’s Mars rovers and crash avoidance systems in Cadillacs began at CMU. Now, our scientists are developing technology to assist the elderly with household chores, respond to natural or man-made disasters and land a robot on the moon.</li>

<li>In 2014, The Hollywood Reporter rated CMU's School of Drama among the world's best with a No. 3 ranking. </li>

<li>CMU attracts award-winning talent. Current and former faculty and alumni are winning top awards in arts, science, and technology.</li>

<li>With 100 percent of CMU’s electricity coming from green power sources, the university is ranked as a green power leader by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.</li>

The '''I'''ntegrative '''De'''sign, '''A'''rts and '''Te'''chnology Network (IDeATe ~~supports eight interrelated undergraduate concentration areas~~) at Carnegie Mellon University connects diverse strengths across CMU to advance education, ~~all of which can also be taken as minors.

IDeATesupports eight interrelated undergraduate concentration areas, all of which can also be taken as minors. The themes of these areas integrate knowledge in technology and arts: game design, animation and special effects, media design, sound design, learning media design, entrepreneurship for creative industries, intelligent environments, and physical computing. The IDeATe concentrations aim to train a student to be excellent in one area of technology or arts and be able to collaborate within diverse cohorts of technology and arts experts. To achieve this goal, IDeATe has sponsored the development of 30 new interdisciplinary technology-arts studio based courses. These studio classes are focused on hands on collaborative learning and are structured to combine students from many different disciplines. The curriculum is being developed and delivered by 65 faculty across 15 different academic units of CMU and being delivered at the new IDEATE collaborative making facility housed at the central Hunt Library.

= Strategy 1: IDeATe Layout  =

The axis of any community is its members and IDeATe is no different. In order to strengthen the sense of community in IDeATe, students must feel comfortable enough to work in the space whether or not a project is due the next morning. With more students working in IDeATe, there is a higher chance students from different concentrations will interact and communicate, thus building a core community.

~~~~By changing the physical layout of the IDeATe classrooms, spaces can be tailored to act as both group work spaces and places for individuals to work on their own unrelated projects. Small alterations such as table placement, wall color, and material organization can go a long way when creating an inviting work space.

== Student Recognition ==

= Strategy 3: IDeATe/Community Involvement  =

== Campus Calendar ==

== IDeATe Hackathons ==

Hackathons are a great way to encourage collaboration and group work in a fun, experimental setting. By hosting an IDeATe hackathon, students from different concentrations will be encouraged to pull their individual talents and collaborate on quick interdisciplinary projects that can then be expanded upon later in the semester.

Also, by hosting such events in IDeATe, it will encourage all non-affiliated participants to explore the opportunities hosted by the IDeATe.~~~~

== Monthly Pop-up Events ==

We think these are important and we will soon post a plan.
