You can also access the Wellness Services Navigator to be matched with resources on campus and in the community catered to your specific wellness needs.
Something for Everyone at Carleton Athletics
As the active hub of student life on campus, there’s something for everyone at Carleton Athletics!

Take your fitness journey to the next level with a CUFit membership, giving you unlimited access to over 30 group fitness classes. During Athletics Week from Monday, September 11 to Sunday, September 17, 2023, you can try out CUFit classes for free and be entered for a chance to win a red Carleton Ravens hoodie!

About State of the Raven Newsletter
The State of the Raven newsletter is Carleton’s official undergraduate student newsletter sent to all students registered in the current term to ensure the consistency, consolidation and simplification of all communications under the Student Communications Policy.
To limit the number of emails students receive from the university, this newsletter collects the latest news, events, key dates, support services and resources from around campus to keep you up to date about what’s going on at Carleton.
