「特别报导」新 Tartans 在 2024 年新生迎新活动上融入社区

从某个角度来看，穿着红色、蓝色、黄色、深红色、紫色、粉色和绿色服装的一年级学生们组成的小组，准备竞逐 Carnegie Cup，看起来就像卡内基梅隆大学标志性的 Tartan 图案——一种颜色和线条粗细交织在一起的编织，象征着不同思想、兴趣、背景和技能的融合。

From a certain vantage, the first-year students in groups of red, blue, yellow, maroon, purple, pink and green assembled to compete for the Carnegie Cup resemble Carnegie Mellon University's signature Tartan  — a weaving of colors and line-weights that represent different thoughts, interests, backgrounds and skills coming together.

Carnegie Cup 是新生迎新活动中的众多项目之一，通过一系列比赛和挑战，将卡内基梅隆的新生按照宿舍社区进行划分。

One of many First-Year Orientation events, the Carnegie Cup aligns incoming students at Carnegie Mellon by residence hall communities in a series of games and challenges.

今年迎新的主题是「编织在一起」，灵感来源于 Tartan 图案。卡内基梅隆大学迎来了 2028 届的 1,800 多名新生，加入 CMU 社区。CMU 的迎新活动旨在为学术成功、社区归属感、身心健康、校园参与以及 Tartan 自豪感奠定坚实基础。

The Tartan inspired "Woven Together," the theme of this year's Orientation. CMU welcomed more than 1,800 students of the Class of 2028+ to the CMU Community. Orientation programming at CMU is designed to provide the foundation for academic success, community membership, well-being, campus involvement and Tartan pride.

经过一周的密切互动和对大学及匹兹堡地区的了解后，Carnegie Cup 将颁发给表现优异的团队。学生们在前一个星期六首次到达宿舍，并在搬入日当天由专门的迎新顾问团队协助搬入。

The Carnegie Cup is awarded after an extraordinary week of connections and learning about the university and Pittsburgh region. Students first arrived at their residence halls the previous Saturday, aided on Move-In Day by a dedicated cadre of orientation counselors. 

迎新顾问们在搬入日为抵达的学生们加油打气。

新生和他们的家人在周日上午受到了卡内基梅隆大学校长 Farnam Jahanian 的热烈欢迎。校长赞扬这些学生是他们这一代中最聪明的一批，并表示：

「接下来的四年将无疑是你们年轻生命中最具变革性的时光之一。你们在 CMU 的教育将为你们追逐和实现梦想提供一切机会。」

First-year students and their families received a warm welcome Sunday morning from the president of Carnegie Mellon University, Farnam Jahanian, who praised the students for being among the brightest of their generation. 

“The next four years or so will undoubtedly be some of the most transformative of your young lives,” Jahanian said. “Your CMU education will give you every opportunity you can imagine to chase and achieve your dreams.”

在年度迎新活动之一「社区拼贴 (Community Collage)」中，一年级学生们体验了学生群体的多样才艺。

计算机科学专业二年级学生 Elaine Gombos 用中英文演唱了一部分《Reflection》，然后她解释了如何接受她的混血背景意味着接受她所有不同的部分。

「这意味着选择自己想成为的人的自由。我生活在交叉点，而不是框框中。我生活在色调和混合中，而不是纯色中。我不是 50% 的白人和 50% 的亚洲人，而是 100% 的 Elaine。」她说。

At Community Collage, an annual Orientation event, first-year students experience the diverse talent of the student body. 

Elaine Gombos, a sophomore studying computer science, sang a portion of “Reflection” in both Chinese and English before she explained how embracing her mixed-race background meant embracing all the different parts of herself.

“It means the freedom to choose who I want to be,” she said. “I live in intersections, not boxes. I live in hues and blends, not solid colors. I am not 50% white and 50% Asian, but 100% Elaine.”

2024 年 8 月 22 日星期四，Jahanian 校长和 CMU 七个学院的院长们在正式的开学典礼上正式欢迎新生。演讲者们借用了 Tartan 格子图案的象征意义，鼓励新生们在接下来的日子里拥抱他们的多样性和将要形成的社区纽带。

「你们将在无数方面成长，发现点燃你们学术和职业生涯的激情。CMU 会改变你们，而你们也将改变 CMU。」Jahanian 说。

Jahanian and the deans of CMU's seven schools and colleges officially welcomed the first-year students at a formal Convocation celebration on Thursday, Aug. 22. 

Speakers called on the symbolism of the Tartan plaid to encourage the first-year arrivals to embrace their diversity and the bonds they will form with the community over the coming days.

"You will grow in innumerable ways, and discover passions that ignite your academic and professional careers. CMU will change you, and you will change CMU,” Jahanian said
