The Currently@Carleton and The East Laird Times campus newsletters are joining editorial forces and merging into Carleton Weekly, a newsletter that will serve all faculty and staff.  Please visit the Carleton Weekly site with the initial issue to be published on Tuesday, September 8.  A link is provided at the left for submitting items to Carleton Weekly.

 The Currently@Carleton site will remain available for archive purposes.

It is with excitement that we share this year's New Student Week (NSW) Web site, which includes a complete schedule of events. 

Please be advised that New Student Week is September 9 through 13, during which time your office may experience higher than “normal” walk-in traffic and/or phone calls from both students and parents.

Please read the complete article for further details about NSW.

Please join Residential Life and Facilities in celebrating the retirements of Dan and Linda Stadler. Together they have dedicated 62 years to Carleton College. Dan has spent the last 27 years in Facilities, while Linda has worked the last 18 years in Residential Life. The open house will be held Wednesday, August 26, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Upper Sayles-Hill. All faculty and staff are invited to come to wish them the best on their retirement!

What happened to the Lake? Wednesday, August 12, work began on the Lower Lyman Lake/island shoreline restoration project. The first step was to drain the lake. Then the shoreline will be re-established with erosion control materials, planted, and back filled with soil. We expect to replug the dam and return to full depth of water by the time students arrive on campus. If you have any questions about this project, please call x4137.

The road/parking areas that were recently seal coated will be swept on Tuesday, August 25. Beginning at 8 a.m., the crew will start on the main campus drive (College Street extension into campus) to be followed by the Arb lot and the Stadium drive. The lots will be posted for no parking, and opened up as soon as they are swept. Roads will remain open but circulation may have short periods of delay. The parking stalls, pedestrian crossings, and other markings will be painted sometime after the sweeping, but that work is not scheduled at this time.

With the beginning of Fall Term around the corner, Currently@Carleton will begin it's weekly publication schedule, beginning with the September 7 issue. Please remember that the deadline for submission of articles is Wednesdays by 5 p.m.
