Meet the 2024 Summer Fellows!

Hello lovely readers! It is my honor and privilege to introduce the 2024 Summer Admissions Fellows! These five fellows will spend the summer at Carleton working at the admissions office. They will be leading tours, interviewing prospective students, and helping out around the office! Keep reading to meet these lovely people, and follow the blog for more posts about life at Carleton! We hope to see you at some point over the summer!

Who are the Summer Admissions Fellows?

Katelyn Harder ’26

Katelyn (she/her) is a junior at Carleton from Las Vegas, Nevada, and is a psychology major with minors in cognitive science and German. She is a proud first-generation student who loves to participate in all things happening around campus. She is involved with Carleton’s student-run first-gen organization 1Gen, KRLX, and Babyteeth. When she is not in the gym playing volleyball or lifting (super heavy) weights, she can be found hanging out with her friends or in the small park next to the Weitz, specifically on the east-most swing.

Yahnee Acklin ’25

Yahnee (she/her/hers) loves Carleton for its small-town location in Northfield; it’s the complete opposite of Philadelphia which she calls home! Yahnee’s favorite place on campus is Anderson Hall, home to a cafe, great study spaces, and many of the science departments. A fun fact about her is that she is the only Africana Studies major in her class year.

Will Hassell ’25

Will’s (he/him/his) favorite thing about Carleton is the amount of green space the campus has, as it is a good reprieve from stress. He is an English Major with minors in Creative Writing and Education Studies, giving him plenty to read during the school year! Outside the classroom, Will is a member of CHOP, one of Carleton’s D3 ultimate frisbee teams, a Student Department Assistant for the Ed Studies Department, and a member of board game club. A fun fact about him is that he has seen the movie The Princess Bride at least 20 times, and can recite large portions of it!

Holly Lake ’25

If Holly (she/her/hers) was a place on campus, she would be the bench in the upper arb that overlooks Bell Field. During the school year, Holly “slays” on the dance floor as the director of the Synchrony II dance troupe, is a member of Project Friendship, a theater stage manager, and works in the Alumni Relations Office! A fun fact about her is that she has triple citizenship with the US, UK, and Ireland.

Quinn Lee O’Halloran ’25

Quinn (any) is an American Studies Major and Chinese Minor. Quinn has a deep love of the Carleton community; she says she is so lucky to be surrounded by such brilliant and kind people. Quinn is an active member of the student-run radio station KRLX, the orchestra, equestrian club, and the music department! Following their love of music and radio, her favorite place on campus is the record library. And finally, a fun fact about Quinn is that their family helped to found the Minneapolis St. Patrick’s Day Parade!
