Admissions Office, Scoville Hall
The Carleton Admissions Office is open on Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.
Students can be added to the mailing list to receive Carleton admissions publications by calling the office at 800-995-CARL or visiting the admissions website. On Friday, tours will be offered at 8:45 a.m. and 2 p.m., and there will be informational sessions at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. in Scoville Hall.

The Alumni Admissions Representative Program is a volunteer organization made up of alumni who help to preserve the character and quality of Carleton’s future by interacting with prospective students through individual contacts, college fairs, interviews, and gatherings. Drop by the admissions office on Friday to sign up as an AAR or to learn more.

Announcements
Announcements about program updates or cancellations will be made via twitter using hashtag #carlreunion via the @carlreunion account. You can also find these in the Carleton Reunion App on the home screen. Posters will be listing updates on the doors of each residential space.

Alumni College
Don't miss this chance to experience the intellectual stimulation of the Carleton classroom again—without tests or grades. Reunion will feature panel discussions and lectures by faculty members and alumni on cutting-edge scholarship, Carleton initiatives, and other timely issues. Hour-long presentations will run from 8:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. on Friday and at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday.

Alcohol
Under Minnesota state law, people younger than 21 may not purchase or be served alcoholic beverages. The College requests that all alumni conform to the letter and spirit of the law.

There have been several changes in how alcohol is served during reunion weekend. In 2011, Northfield passed a social host ordinance meant to curb underage drinking. Violators can be fined up to $1,000 and face 90 days in jail. In addition, Carleton’s food service, Bon Appétit, now holds a liquor license for service on campus. These changes mean that increased monitoring and control of alcohol service and consumption are necessary. Access to alcohol provided during Reunion weekend (at dinners and at large event venues) will be limited as follows: alumni from the 15th reunion and older classes will show their reunion nametag for service. Registered alumni from the 5th and 10th classes will receive a plastic bracelet at Sayles-Hill registration as proof of valid ID. This bracelet will demonstrate proof of age at venues where alcohol is served. If your bracelet gets torn, you can bring it to the information desk to exchange for a new one (ID required). Anyone from the 5th and 10th classes not wearing a bracelet will not be served alcohol during reunion weekend. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

For safety reasons, glass containers are prohibited on the Hill of Three Oaks and all athletic fields; please help keep our athletic fields safe for students.

Alcoholics Anonymous Program
An AA meeting is scheduled for Thursday, 5:30–6:30 p.m. at the Moravian Church, 713 Division Street. If you need immediate AA assistance, please call 507-581-0972. To find other meeting times and locations, go to www.aaminnesota.org.

Arb Service Project

Oral History Program
The Carleton Oral History Program adds a robust layer of history to the College Archives by interviewing faculty, staff, alumni, and retirees. The 25th and 50th reunion classes are interviewed in groups during Reunion and the interview records remain in the Archives. The interviews are videotaped and audio recorded by experienced volunteer interviewers, who prepare by reading Carletonians and yearbooks from the interviewees' eras. The group interviews usually begin with a simple question about first impressions of Carleton and then go on from there, weaving in stories about campus events, professors, classmates, the climates of the times. No preparation is needed — the conversation takes off on its own as soon as the first question is posed!

Ornithology
Enjoy the beauty of the Carleton Arboretum and search for birds and other natural wildlife. Check the schedule for guided bird and Arb walks.

P

The parade begins as the most senior alumni parade past the cheering younger classes on their way to Alumni Convocation in the Chapel. The next youngest class then falls in behind.
