Fall 2025
The Quad: A Newsletter for Our Alumni Community 💭
Each September sparks a sense of nostalgia among members of our alumni community, bringing back fond memories of your time as a student. Whether it be attending your first class, moving into residence or building connections with your fellow Ravens, we hope these moments continue to resonate with you today.
We invite you to relive these special memories and create new ones during Throwback—Carleton’s fall homecoming celebration—taking place October 3-5. This is an opportunity to visit campus, take part in engaging events and connect—or reconnect—with fellow alumni, faculty, staff and friends of the university.
We also encourage you to learn more about ways you can stay engaged with your alma mater below! We hope you enjoy this fourth edition of the Quad newsletter, created exclusively for Carleton alumni like you.
