Annual Frisbee Toss Featured in the Star Tribune

Today’s edition of the (Minneapolis) Star Tribune features one of Carleton’s many cherished annual traditions, the New Student Week Frisbee Toss. Higher education reporter Jenna Ross notes, “Carleton students excel at the art of Ultimate Frisbee. The small liberal-arts college claims more than two Frisbees on campus for every student.” The column features a photo of Carleton President Steven Poskanzer and Dean of Students Hudlin Wagner, as they kick-off the new academic year with a celebratory frisbee toss — “Mostly, we do this because it’s fun,” says President Poskanzer. And, as he readied his backhand he announced to the incoming Class of 2016, “We wish for you all that your dreams and your opportunities at Carleton may soar as high as these Frisbees.” A link to the complete article can be found here.
