President Farnam Jahanian expressed his pride in seeing CMU alumni being recognized at such a high level in their field. He stated that Broadway and the Tony Awards are among the highest forms of praise possible for performing artists.

In addition to celebrating its alumni's achievements on Broadway, CMU also honored an arts educator during this year's Tony Awards. In partnership with The Broadway League, CMU co-founded the Excellence in Theatre Education Award to recognize outstanding K-12 drama teachers across the United States.

This year's recipient was CJay Philip from Baltimore, Maryland. A CMU alumna and actress in "A Doll's House," Jesmille Darbouze, along with President Jahanian, presented Philip with the award during the Tony Awards: Act One. Philip was recognized for her efforts in providing high-quality theater training to at-risk youth through her organization, Dance & Bmore Theater Programs.

Actor, director, and Tony-Award winning producer Tamara Tunie, also a CMU alumna and university trustee, announced that submissions for the 2025 Excellence in Theatre Education Award are now open. The winner will receive a $10,000 grant and a visiting master class for their students taught by CMU Drama faculty.

Carnegie Mellon University is the exclusive higher education partner of the Tony Awards. For more information about CMU and its partnership with the Tonys, visit cmu.edu.
