2009-2010 Convocations Schedule
The weekly convocation series is a shared experience that is at the foundation of Carleton values. Students, faculty and staff from across campus gather for one hour for a lecture, presentation or performance from specialists in a variety of disciplines. The goal of the convocation series is to stimulate thought and conversation outside the classroom on a broad range of subjects. Convocations are open to the public and free of charge.
Recordings of past convocations have been archived here. Videos of many past convocations are also in the Gould Library collection.
Carleton students, faculty, and staff may follow this link to make suggestions for future convocation speakers.
Convocation: Lowell Bergman
Lowell Bergman is an investigative reporter with The New York Times and producer/correspondent for the PBS documentary series “Frontline”. As a professor at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, Bergman has for over 15 years taught a seminar dedicated to investigative reporting. His far-ranging projects have included investigations into the war on drugs, the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, the credit card and gold industries, Al Qaeda's recent attacks in Europe, and the domestic energy crisis. Additionally, he has worked across the media spectrum – print, broadcast and electronic media – and along the way won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service and every major award in broadcasting, including numerous Emmys, Peabodys, and a Writers Guild Award.
