The Carnegie Clan brings school spirit to the stands
Created by a group of friends in 2004, the Carnegie Clan aims to promote school spirit through support of the athletic programs at Carnegie Mellon. Although all of the founders — Tom Matta, Kaori Yazawa, Darbi Roberts, Becky Metler, Rory Kaclik, and Alex Gutschick — have graduated, President Sara Wingen and Co-President Risa Masuda continue to propel the organization’s mission and have hosted several successful events this fall, generating enthusiasm by giving out Carnegie Clan and Tartans towels, T-shirts, and free food.
