The Quad: A Newsletter for Our Alumni Community 💭

This time of year brings an opportunity for reflection. As 2025 comes to a close, many of us are considering new beginnings, setting new goals and welcoming new opportunities. How we choose to spend our time — volunteering, joining a club, engaging in the community — are big decisions.  

We were wowed by the Carleton alumni community who showed up for our Ravens Football team during the pre-Panda Pancaker breakfast in early October, and all throughout the Throwback activities that took place this fall. Thank you to all those who joined us. 

In this edition of the Quad, we’ve offered some ways for you to consider spending your time with us in the new year. 

We hope you enjoy this edition of the Quad newsletter, created exclusively for Carleton alumni like you.
