  The highlights of the recent activities and physics results leading up to the
summer of 2018 from the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the CERN
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are presented here. The CMS experiment has a very
wide-ranging physics program, and only a very limited subset of the physics
analyses being performed at CMS are discussed here, consisting of several
important results from the analysis of proton-proton collision data at
center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. These include important analyses of Higgs
boson physics, with the highlight being the first observation of the
$\mathrm{t\bar{t}H}$ production of the Higgs boson, along with analyses
pertaining to precision standard model measurements, top quark physics, with
the single top production cross-section measurement, and flavor physics, with
the important observation of $\chi_{b}$(3P) states. Additionally, important
searches for physics beyond the standard model are also presented.
