Student Organizations & Media
The Moustache Club. The Carleton Juggling F.I.S.H. The Honking Knights. The Uninvited Company. What can we say? You get creative when you spend winter on the frozen prairie with a couple thousand of your closest friends.
If you can’t find something appealing in one of the 171 (and counting) student organizations at Carleton, you're welcome to invent your own. The Carleton Student Association can help you get started.
Student Media & Publications
With a student-run radio station, a video magazine, and at least half a dozen printed publications, there are plenty of outlets on campus for diverse voices and perspectives.
Want to try your hand at sports reporting? Join the staff of the Carletonian. Got some great photos from a campus event? Shout would love to put them online. Investigative journalism? Check out the award-winning, internationally distributed Lens magazine.
Whatever it is you have to express—poetry, politics, art, or interfaith dialogue—you'll find a venue for it at Carleton.
