Student Organizations

This year, Carleton has created an additional award to recognize members of our community
for their leadership and service. Called the "Stewsie Sustainability Award," this award
recognizes a faculty or staff member as well as a student whose character reflects the
determination, conviction, and innovation of the life-long service of Dresdon Blake
Stewart, better known as "Stewsie".

As employee and later Superintendent of Grounds, Stewsie served the college for over 50
years. Never found without a shovel in hand, he was dedicated to improving his
community's environment, keeping strong his deep convictions to preserving the natural
order of the local habitat. Through his problem-solving, will-power, and enthusiasm,
Stewsie ensured the health and vitality of our environment.
