James Wang, a senior majoring in statistics and machine learning, decided to merge two passions — machine learning and photography — for his Quantitative Social Science Scholars project. The outcome was the Silver List, which raises the visibility of diverse, high-quality and otherwise-overlooked photographers. It consists of 47 young and emerging artists who have been identified by 125 nonprofit organizations, photography curators, educators, scholars and critics. Read a February 2021 Vanity Fair article featuring the Silver List.

Fifty-nine students have been initiated into Carnegie Mellon University’s chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa Society (PBK), including 35 students affiliated with the Dietrich College. PBK is the nation’s oldest honor society and celebrates excellence in the liberal arts and sciences.
