About STUDENTSECT@CMU

Launched in 2018, INTERSECT@CMU is a cross-campus endeavor designed to convene thought leaders from within and beyond the CMU community to explore the implications of a broad topic in our rapidly changing world. In the age of COVID-19, the conference will consider COVID-19's long-term global effects on four foundational elements of society: health, sustainability, the economy and education (outlined in detail below).

This year, we launched STUDENTSECT@CMU in partnership with the greater Intersect conference. STUDENTSECT is a series of student-led programming that aims to create an opportunity for students to engage in meaningful dialogue at a systems level in the context of COVID-19, while exploring strategies for change as we redefine "normal" in a post-COVID world.



The Crew

STUDENTSECT@CMU is being organized by a committee of students from across campus, including both undergraduate and graduate students from the College of Engineering, the Mellon College of Science, School of Design, and the Tepper School of Business.
