Carleton College Admissions

I have volunteered at the Assisted Learning Center at the Northfield Middle School, volunteered with Books for Africa, played basketball with youth in Fairbault through the M-TAG program, and helped with the Special Olympics.

I cleared the invasive buckthorn plant in the Arb during New Student Week. It was a surprisingly fun and even therapeutic experience.

I help out with Arb restoration. It's quite cathartic to rip out buckthorn when I'm frustrated about homework.

I am a program director for Books for Africa, which collects and processes donated textbooks to be shipped to the African continent. We've recently collected a large number of books from the Carleton campus and the Northfield community, and led programs introducing middle school students to community service. I also enjoy helping with the Red Cross blood drive when it comes to campus every term.

I have done a little volunteering around campus, helping with teaching science to elementary students as well as Girl Scouts. This year, I am also planning on volunteering at Northfield Hospital.

Every Saturday last year I would read children's books to kids at the Northfield Public Library.
