I'm on CMU Wireless at Chris and John's in D.C., staying overnight before an IVCF team mtg at the Offners, and just came across India Attracts Universities From the U.S. which opens:

It was an unusual university entrance interview. Late one recent evening here in steamy southern India, Vijay Muddana sat in a mercilessly air-conditioned room, leaning forward in his chair and talking to the wall. There, projected on a screen via videoconferencing equipment, were administrators from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where an early morning snowstorm had caused a power failure, delaying the interviews by an hour. The Indians found it funny that even in Pittsburgh, there were power failures.

We've had some of the students from the programs described in the article part of the Graduate Christian Fellowship (GCF), e.g., pic of Varun chatting with Jason at the Moore's Christmas 2005 party, at which we had a focus on Narnia. What a small world!

Note:  CMU has work in other places, e.g. Qatar is also menionted in the article.  Take a moment to pray for followers of Christ at CMU to be Christ as they have opportunity to share their life and story as the world comes to CMU and CMU goes to the world.
