Distinguished Achievement Award
These awards are restricted to alumni of the College (including non-graduates). The criteria include outstanding achievement within a particular field or fields of accomplishment, and recognition may be for either professional accomplishments or community service.
Exceptional Service Award
These awards are for Carleton alumni and friends. Criteria include exceptional service that contributes substantially to the well-being of the College by furthering its purposes and programs. Employees, trustees and board members are eligible if they have retired or completed their employment or service. This recognition is not restricted to alumni and may include friends, faculty, administrators or others who have served the College.
In the Spirit of Carleton Award
A nominee for this award, which was presented for the first time at reunion 1997, should be a Carleton alum from one of the most recent 15 classes (1993-2008) who has made a significant contribution to civic or professional organizations and who demonstrates the attributes of Carleton's liberal arts education. This person should have exhibited creativity, purposefulness and a commitment to quality and improving their community. The award winner will be asked to return to campus as an alumna/us in residence in order to share his or her expertise with students during a visit of a few days. Preference will be given to candidates in reunion classes.
