Carnegie Mellon Racing Sees Multiple Checkered Flags This Summer
Carnegie Mellon Racing, a student-run electric racing team that designs and builds an entire open-wheel electric racecar every year, recently won multiple awards over this summer. The team’s awards include taking first place in the electric category at the Formula Hybrid competition and placing 5th overall, as well as second in both design and efficiency, and took home the Cummins Innovation Award from Formula SAE Michigan.
Laury A. Egan, an alumna of Carnegie Mellon University's School of Design (BFA '72), has been enjoying an incredible career as an author, with her latest book, "Once, Upon an Island," arriving on shelves in September. Laury not only writes, she also designs the visuals for her books and their covers. From poetry to comedy to suspense, Egan's body of work continues to grow and evolve.
Carnegie Mellon University's School of Design is thrilled to announce that Associate Professor Stuart Candy and alumna Ceda Verbakel (MA '19) just received the Speculative Design Award from the Core77 Design Awards 2022. Their project, "Imagination is a Commons," examined how to use experiential futures to bring a conversation about long-range alternative pathways for global development to life for the U.N. Development Programme, who was the client for this project.

Our 3rd year Communication Design students created public service messages to tell the story of the region's current state of broadband connectivity. The students' campaigns are critical in helping raise awareness, advocate for and educate the general population about the importance of high-speed connectivity and its role in our day-to-day lives. Thank you to our partners Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission, in collaboration with Allies for Children and Carnegie Mellon University (Metro21 and Traffic21)
Please enjoy some of last year's best work from the entire spectrum of projects and research that our grads and undergrads took part in at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Design.
