Parent Resource Questionnaire

Dear Carleton Parents,

I believe that Carleton parents can be extraordinary resources of knowledge and talent for our students.

I invite your participation by completing this "Parent Resource Questionnaire." It will allow Carleton to identify your areas of interest and ability so the College may call on you as the need arises to help augment its programs.

Thank you.

Gary T. O'Brien
Parent Advisory Council Chair
