바카라 온라인 추천’s commitments over the next 10 years are:

To educate 바카라 온라인 추천 students around the world about the SDGs, recognizing that this framework applies to all of us and represents a special opportunity to create a more peaceful, prosperous, planet with just and inclusive societies.
To help solve pressing problems brought to light by the SDG framework, by acting boldly, taking risks, and applying creativity.
To do this work collaboratively, an approach deeply embedded in our university culture.
To demonstrate advancement of the SDGs at 바카라 온라인 추천 through education, research, partnerships and operational activities.
To create a Voluntary University Review of work being done at 바카라 온라인 추천 and to report these findings in New York as the UN General Assembly meets next year.
To do more to align 바카라 온라인 추천’s work with the SDGs and build on the good work already done by 바카라 온라인 추천 faculty, students, staff and alumni – whether focused on mitigating climate change, eliminating food waste, reducing violence or ending human trafficking.

On Sept. 9, Garrett announced the creation of a new campus-wide Sustainability Initiative. The initiative will be led by a steering committee co-chaired by David Dzombak, Steven Guenther and Sarah Mendelson.

Center for Machine Learning and Health Seeks Proposals

The Center for Machine Learning and Health (CMLH) has announced an internal call for Carnegie Mellon faculty-led projects.

The CMLH is looking for compelling science that creates value for stakeholders including patients and caregivers, providers, payers and health care institutions. The CMLH is technology agnostic! Enabling technology from computer science, biology, engineering, policy, operations, design, behavioral/social sciences and the arts are all possible drivers or components of novel, interdisciplinary digital solutions that address unmet needs in health care. We are open to all ideas that faculty deem relevant from disciplines across the university.

CMLH funding provides for one-year applied research projects anticipated to have budgets in the low six figures (including university overhead). After one year, projects may attract more funding to refine the technology and/or its development for commercialization.

Full proposals are due on October 22. Complete details for the Call for Proposals, including templates and the Intent to Propose Tool can be found at under the “Fall 2019 Call for Proposals” section.

Contact the CMLH with any questions at cmlh@cs.tdcpw.com.

Tartan Community Day a Time to Connect, Reflect and Have Fun

Carnegie Mellon’s inaugural Tartan Community Day, designed to bring together students, faculty, staff and alumni to connect, reflect, restore and have fun, will be Friday, Oct. 25.

All classes will be canceled in Pittsburgh to allow the community to take part in a variety of activities, including a fireside chat with one of 바카라 온라인 추천’s famous alumni, a presentation about lessons learned from the Life@바카라 온라인 추천 Project and opportunities to join discussions about the 바카라 온라인 추천 experience. There also will be a free community picnic lunch, a showcase of Tartan talent with performances throughout the day, and plenty of other fun events and activities.

Tartan Community Day was initiated by the Task Force on the 바카라 온라인 추천 Experience, which was convened in 2016 to closely examine the Carnegie Mellon experience and take action to enhance a community in which all members can engage, build resilience and thrive. Celebratory days like Founders Day and the Presidential Inauguration galvanized the Task Force’s commitment to shape an annual tradition the entire campus community could adopt.
