Buggy is one of Carnegie Mellon UniversityÕs longest traditions. The students and alumni who have participated throughout the years, documented so much of its history, and celebrated across generations created a community that is rare on modern university campuses.

But the Sweepstakes demonstratedÑand continues to demonstrateÑa profoundly unique aspect of CMUÕs community. Buggy is a demonstration of our collective commitment to both art and science. ItÕs a demonstration of our desire to create applied knowledge to solve problems that exist outside the walls of the university. This is what makes CMU great: our ability to be interdisciplinary, to seek non-traditional solutions to problems, and to empower our students to challenge themselves outside of the classroom.

That spirit has made Spring CarnivalÑwhere the Sweepstakes happenÑas important to CMUÕs culture today as it was one hundred years ago. And that spirit has been strong enough to endure hardships, pandemics, and world wars.

Buggy is our celebration of a collaboration between the arts, the sciences, the humanities, and athletics. This is our celebration of a collaboration between students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the larger world. This is where we celebrate working together toward a common goal.

Nuts, Bolts, & Wheels: 100 Years of Buggy is a celebration of those studentsÑpast, present, and future.
