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Recordings of past convocations have been archived here.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.
