Specifically, the Urban Adventure Club will provide students with adventures that simply aren't achievable in the town of Northfield.
Meetings would involve meaningful discourse about the benefits of engaging with urban life and planning for trips (offered 1-2 per month). Only those who attend meetings would be eligible for trips.

Additionally, 120 students ranging from Freshman-Senior class standings are in the google group. 6 students have reached out to me about a desire to be involved in club leadership.

This is a club with a great deal of momentum, full of very passionate people who share a common interest in urban culture.

Bhad V Nails will create a safe space where creativity and expression can be experimented with without any financial barriers (nail polish, nail files, stones, etc.). Bhad V Nails will also be a space where nail art and nail expression can be unapologetically realized for people of color. The stigma and preconceived notions about the lifestyles and capacities of people with long colorful nails, specifically black women, is still a problem today, and we hope to combat that through nails.

We will be open to submissions from any student, staff or faculty member on campus, but reserve the right of editorial control over all submissions. Due to editors' extensive communication with contributors, the Carleton Literary Association will provide an entirely writer-/artist-driven public mouthpiece. Unlike other papers on campus, we will embrace all forms of creative expression and focus solely on campus issues, thus providing a timely and intelligent exploration of activities and events of importance to members of the campus community. In so doing, we intend to gather public opinion and promote discussion and awareness of topics of utmost relevance to the campus. Realizing, however, the ramifications of such a public venture, all submissions, letters to the editor, and anything expressing views, be it in written format or otherwise, must be accompanied by a name, so as to properly establish agency.

The Lens is a nationally distributed magazine featuring high quality interdisciplinary writing. Our target audience is students and faculty at the undergraduate level.

Articles in The Lens attempt to burst the “Carleton bubble,” connecting our campus to the outside world.'
The Lens fills a specific need on campus and does not intended to compete with The Carletonian or other campus publications. To our knowledge, there does not exist another nationally distributed undergraduate magazine of politics and culture. Our bi-yearly publication also allows for a long, focused editorial process, giving writers, editors and designers the opportunity to plunge in-depth into long form journalism. This kind of editing and writing is unique for Carleton publications and we believe that Carleton students want to read and produce it.

The Carleton Advocacy Network of Doulas (CAN-DO) Manage
Our History: With prior experience working as birth doulas and in abortion settings, Rinya Kamber and Sarina Chaiken (with the help of other resources) were able to train new doulas to physically, emotionally, and informationally support patients. The first abortion doula training was in spring of 2016. In fall of 2016, CANDO formed a partnership with Whole Woman’s Health of the Twin Cities and coordinated a second comprehensive doula training. By November 2016, CAN-DO doulas were in clinic, supporting people during abortion procedures. Another training will be done in Winter 2016. Our Goals: 1) Abortion Doula Volunteers: Sustain and expand our pool of abortion doula volunteers who work at a Whole Woman's Health in the Twin Cities, providing direct support to patients choosing abortion. Everybody deserves support when vulnerable. Our goal is to ensure that all people choosing abortion will have equal access to quality doula support. We will provide care to anyone who seeks it, which may include people from Carleton, Northfield, and greater Minnesotan communities. 2) Community Awareness: Create a sustainable chain reaction of positive change by increasing the number of reproductive justice advocates in the community. The positive outcome of this effort is the creation of more accurately informed, trustworthy, approachable, and nonjudgmental people in the world. As students graduate, this knowledge can permeate into a wide array of settings. CAN-DO will continue to educate all interested community members, including those who do not wish to become in-clinic doulas.

"The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error." - John Stuart Mill

We do not believe that the marketplace of ideas should be monopolized by one side of any issue. Instead, we seek to give attention and voice to every idea, opinion, and individual at Carleton. To accomplish this, we:
Showcase termly campus-wide debates between faculty members, students, and guest speakers on motions selected by the organization’s Planning Board of Directors.
Work with Carleton clubs and organizations to provide a neutral platform upon which they can host discussions and debates about contentious issues related to their missions and the Carleton constituencies they serve.
Work with Carleton academic departments to invite esteemed guest speakers to speak on specific issues on panels or individually.
CF may debate motions and invite speakers that challenge the political and moral convictions of Carleton students. We do not intend to offend or breach the emotional sensitivities of any student. Instead, we provide a platform for every idea to be represented and challenged in a safe environment. Trigger warnings will be noted and reported to students before events.
CF reinforces the integral truth that every idea matters and should be shared without suppression, devaluation, acrimony, or violation of the human autonomy of its author. Carleton students possess the irrevocable license to challenge the espoused ideas of their colleagues, professors, and external thinkers. CF elevates this maxim by preserving discourse and sustaining Carleton College as a free and inclusive marketplace of ideas.

The Lens fills a specific need on campus and does not intended to compete with The Carletonian or other campus publications. To our knowledge, there does not exist another nationally distributed undergraduate magazine of politics and culture. Our bi-yearly publication also allows for a long, focused editorial process, giving writers, editors and designers the opportunity to plunge in-depth into long form journalism. This kind of editing and writing is unique for Carleton publications and we believe that Carleton students want to read and produce it.

Senior Engagement through Rewarding Volunteering Manage
This student organization replaces the Mortar Board chapter at Carleton with a more inclusive organization open to all rising seniors. We plan on continuing and expanding the group’s legacy of giving back to Carleton, specifically with a focus on staff appreciation and peer mentorship. As rising seniors, we hope to leave Carleton having shown our thankfulness to the staff, faculty, and community that make it such a special place, and we hope that our new mentorship program will provide an innovative new way to create ties between under and upperclassmen.
Student Advocates for Reproductive Choice Manage
Our purpose is to provide pro-choice activism opportunities each term through discussion, event planning, escorting, and workshops with an open, friendly, and respectful atmosphere. We work very closely with NARAL Pro-Choice MN so as to have the best access to current events. Our goal is to offer at least 1 event every term that will allow for campus-wide discussion, 1 tabling session to promote awareness of Days of Action and current events, and 1 clinic escort trip to allow Carls to participate by promoting choice on and outside our campus.

Students 'N' Alumni Programming Board Manage
The Students 'N Alumni Programming Board (SNAP) aims to help students build a stronger connection with their classmates and the College, create opportunities to engage with alumni, and build skills to become leaders in Carleton-related opportunities after graduation.
Alumni enjoy meeting with current students, and SNAP will identify more opportunities for student-alumni interaction.
SNAP will also work to engage more students earlier in the world of Carleton alumni, bring students together as a class to cultivate class spirit and identity, connect students with alumni so they gain a greater sense of the true Carleton community, and have fun and involve as many students and alumni as possible.
Some of the events and programs we have hosted include Freshman Fall Day, Sophomore Major Declaration Celebration, Senior Banquet, Senior Gift, Give Day, and much more!
