What is The Forum?

The Forum consists of all exempt employees and participation is voluntary. Events are scheduled throughout the academic year. Members represent nearly every office and division on campus.

The purpose of the Forum is two-fold:

• Provide the opportunity to get together with other exempt staff to share ideas, discuss issues of common interest, and socialize.
• Serve as an advocate for exempt staff participation in discussions that affect our roles in the Carleton community. Topics vary, and we are always open to suggestions.

Who coordinates the Forum's activities?
