Our "Week in Pictures" photo feature returns for the spring term, as the Carleton campus is abuzz with a wide variety of student activities. Aaron Kaufman's senior concert, the synchronized swimming team's annual spring show, Irish guitarist Dáithí Sproule and wind musician Laura MacKenzie's concert, and sports action photos from men's and women's tennis, along with baseball and softball, highlight our images this week.

Members of the Carleton College community, including President Robert Oden Jr., recently attended a luncheon event benefitting the Northfield Community Action Center’s Food Shelf. Organized by Staff at Carleton (SAC), the event raised over $1,000 in cash and generated an additional 295 pounds of non-perishable food items for the cause.

Kevin Close, a Carleton senior from Salt Lake City, won the grand prize in the Associated Colleges of the Midwest’s off-campus studies photo contest. Close, a religion major, won for his image “A Long Car Ride,” a photo taken during his studies in Mongolia in the fall of 2007. He simply describes the photo as “One student, one translator, and ten goats.” Ben Barclay, a senior political science and international relations double major from Ames, Iowa, earned honorable mention honors for his photo “Abandoned.” His image, which shows an orphan sitting alone off the streets of Cairo, was taken during Barclay’s time at American University in Cairo in the fall of 2007.

In this week's "Photo Feature" we bring you photos from the convocation that featured Mark Anthony Neal, Professor of Black Popular Culture in the Department of African and African-American Studies at Duke University, images from the concert by award-winning Malian singer Rokia Traore, as well as shots from Carleton's basketball games with St. Thomas and swimming and diving dual with St. Olaf.

We bring you another weekly installment of our "Week in Pictures." Winter term at Carleton is in full swing, and we have images of the weekly convocation series by the Wall Street Journal's Doug Blackmon, photos from "Volunteer from Carleton" and the Lunar New Year celebration, hosted by Carleton's Asian Students in America. We also have images from the Knights' home men's and women's basketball contests, as well as some swimming images from the Knights' Carleton Mini-Invite.

During the second week of winter term Carleton hosted a number of exciting events including a convocation with Melissa Harris-Lacewell, the Doh Burma Community social, and a men's basketball game.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration, held at Carleton's Skinner Memorial Chapel on Monday, Jan. 19, is now available for viewing via streaming video. The event featured guest speaker Mary Easter, Rae Schupack Nathan Professor of Dance and the Performing Arts, emerita, as well as musical performances by the Northfield Youth Concert Choir and Jamaal Magee ’10 (Chicago). The event was co-sponsored by the Northfield Human Rights Commission, which presented its 2009 Human Rights Award to Cherif Keita, professor of French and Francophone studies, as part of the evening’s celebration.

We celebrate the start of Carleton's winter term by bringing back our weekly feature, "Week in Pictures." The opening week of 2009's first term was highlighted by a convocation by a consultant from the hit show CSI, a lecture by a well-known writer and author from Brooklyn, N.Y., and home basketball wins for the Carleton men's and women's teams.
