Unrestricted gifts to the Annual Fund are directed to the College’s highest and most pressing needs: financial aid, teaching and learning, technology, and facilities. How gifts to the annual fund provided critical support in 2008-09:
- 78% of students were offered on-campus work study jobs, which for many is an important source of financial aid.
- Unrestricted giving supported several productions by the Carleton Players and helped keep the Knights athletic teams on the road. View related Annual Fund video.
- Gould Library added new subscriptions to its academic journal database for offering up-to-date scholarship in various fields of study. Included in the Library’s collection are 981 active print journal subscriptions and more than 24,000 electronic journals.
- Tools and technology that students and faculty count on for classroom instruction and research were enhanced, including text-to-speech applications, classroom performance systems, and visual communications equipment. Read more about Carleton’s campaign goal to upgrade classroom technology.
