## Resource

Carnegie Mellon just dumped $3 million into Pittsburgh — not as charity, but as a strategic boost for education and infrastructure. Big chunks fund Rec2Tech, connecting teens with tech skills at local recreation centers, while the rest upgrades sidewalks, parks, and safety for all. It’s the latest chapter in CMU’s long-standing partnership with the city — from tutoring to AI training — proving the university’s success is tied to Pittsburgh’s. Mayor O’Connor called it a natural extension of their collaboration, with funds spread over five years to build lasting change in neighborhoods and schools alike.
