The Class of 2010 needs your help. Let's show them the power of Carleton connections.

Our seniors are graduating into the worst economy in decades. To help them succeed, we've launched "Engagement Wanted," a pilot program to send their requests for opportunities & advice out to Carleton's alumni, parents, and friends.

What can you do to help? It's simple:

1. Alumni: Sign up for our weekly Engagement Wanted emails. (You can opt out at any time.)
   Parents: Contact Brent Nystrom to sign up.
2. Read a few ads from seniors each week. We'll send you a random sampler of five "Engagement Wanted" ads from Carleton seniors. When you receive an email, just scan it to see if you have any advice, contacts, or opportunities to offer the students featured.
3. Connect any way you can. You need only contact students with whom you find a connection, and your level of involvement is up to you.  Could you contact the student with one-time advice? Are you willing to provide sustained mentoring? Do you have a referral or lead? Would you be open to an informational interview or shadow visit? Do you have an internship to offer? Does your organization have summer jobs available? Do you know of entry-level jobs that fit the student’s profile? Any type of help is welcome!

Thank you for your participation! Remember, any help you can offer would be welcome to our seniors.
