There will be an academic procession for Opening Convocation on the first day of classes at which faculty wear caps and gowns. If you need a cap and gown, please contact Carleen Thurnblad in the Carleton Bookstore at 507-222-4148, or via e-mail at cthurnbl@carleton.edu, by August 1. There are also a small number of caps and gowns in various sizes available to borrow through College Relations on a first-come-first-served basis. Call Melissa Thomas at 507-222-4309 if you are interested.
