    I was surprised by just how much there is to do at Carleton. You'd have to make an effort to be bored around here. Between the plethora of student-run organizations to the constantly buzzing campus hot spots (including the Libe), Carleton always has an activity for every different type of person.

    I have been a part of the Carleton Senate since spring term of my freshman year, as well as the Budget Committee. I am also the President of the Black Student Alliance, a member of AFRISA, and I have been of the board of Boxes and Walls, which is an interactive production that seeks to foster awareness and dialogue about issues affecting different groups. I am also a student member of the Diversity Initiative Group.

Student Organizations

The Moustache Club. The Carleton Juggling F.I.S.H. The Honking Knights. The Uninvited Company. What can we say? You get creative when you spend winter on the frozen prairie with a couple thousand of your closest friends.

If you can’t find something appealing in one of the 171 (and counting) student organizations at Carleton, you're welcome to invent your own.
