Recipient of the Charles Clifford Alliss and Ellora Martha Alliss Educational Foundation Scholarship

 “Carleton has motivated me to look beyond academic work and into how those skills can be used to affect society at large. All the professors I have encountered here engage in high-level academic work, but some also use their energy and skills to have an impact on the community or advocate for causes that are important to them.

This gift has opened up many wonderful opportunities for me both at Carleton and abroad that I otherwise would never have been able to experience. I am extremely grateful for the generosity and caring expressed in this gift. Thank you!”
