Community Partners

One of the core values of Carnegie Mellon University is to make an impact by addressing critical issues facing society. At the Qatar campus, we put this value into action by forging strong, meaningful partnerships with the people and organizations who are transforming Qatar into a knowledge-based economy.

Community partners are essential for our students. Through internships and jobs, students learn to put their knowledge into practice. Through mentoring, classroom discussions, networking and other learning opportunities, students appreciate the complexity of decision-making. Community partners deeply enrich the student experience and encourage them to find a path where they can make a difference.
