the oldest tradition at the university: the Spring Carnival. Traditions like this, and others such as the Buggy sweepstakes and “Traying” are what make CMU so awesome! If students need a break from the academics, there is always something going on to do just that. Also, as an economics major, it would be nice to participate in some sort of economics related extracurriculars outside of class. And of course, CMU offers these. Student organizations like the Carnegie Mellon Economics Society offer a forum

I felt an immediate sense of awe at Dr. Harris's swiftness, skill, and compassion toward the fearful little boy. The following summer I was a University of Rochester Summer Research Program scholar, doing my first laboratory research. I studied surface deformations of the chick embryo myocardium during normal and experimentally altered ventricular growth, learning the frustration of research obstacles
