CMU-SV students have been busy this semester visiting leading Silicon Valley companies. Recent treks included the Google UX Research Lab at Google headquarters, Intuit, and Meta. Next week, students will visit Uber.

Meeting CMU alumni, recruiters, and senior leaders has made these experiences especially valuable for networking with leaders in AI, software engineering, machine learning engineering, cybersecurity, and product management.

Our CMU-Silicon Valley students are taking their skills beyond the classroom and into impactful summer internships! From Meta to 7-Eleven, these CMU interns are gaining hands-on experience, building professional confidence, and making industry connections that last.

With longer, warmer days, summer often marks a period of leisure. But for many Carnegie Mellon students, a break from classes offers the opportunity to pursue other pursuits, including internships across the country.

Closing out Fall 2025 at CMU-Silicon Valley with celebration, connection, and community. From the Let it Glow End-of-Semester Party and the INI Practicum Showcase to the ECE Toast to Graduates, the MSSM Diploma Ceremony, and one last snack break, the semester ended on a high note.

We’re grateful for the moments, the milestones, and the people who make CMU-SV what it is. Congratulations to all of our CMU-SV graduates, and wishing everyone a restful and wonderful winter break!

"Our byte-sized tech trek to Stripe felt like stepping into the pulse of modern fintech. We were welcomed at the reception by Yuzhe Guo, a proud CMU alum, whose warmth instantly set the tone for the visit. He led us on a lively campus tour that felt less like a walkthrough and more like a story of innovation unfolding in real time. Between casual chats and curious questions, Yuzhe pulled back the curtain on Stripe's engineering culture, grounded in rigor, humility, and a relentless drive to simplify money movement for the world. Over snacks, we dove into conversations about Stripe's tech stack and the elegant architecture behind its systems. Yuzhe also shared insights into Money-as-a-Service, the organization at the heart of Stripe's most forward-thinking initiatives, reimagining how businesses handle payments with precision and creativity. It was a rare peek into how technology, culture, and purpose beautifully intertwine at Stripe."

-Sahaana Das, CMU-SV student.
