Welcome to Carleton’s Newest Admissions Officers!
Welcome to the Admissions Office, Alex and Daamir!
Welcome to the Admissions Office, Alex and Daamir!
Welcome!
We have something to celebrate here in the Carleton Admissions Office — two new staff members! It’s my pleasure to introduce everyone to two of Carleton’s newest graduates and the newest members of the Carleton Admissions Office team.
Alex Cardenas ’20
Please meet Alex Cardenas (he/him/his). Alex grew up in Los Angeles, CA and majored in Psychology at Carleton. In the Admissions Office, Alex is looking forward to meeting the amazing students who apply to Carleton and to learn about their interests!
One fun fact about Alex is that he owns more Crocs than “normal” shoes.
Daamir Robinson ’20
Now, please meet Daamir Robinson (he/him/his). Daamir grew up in Philadelphia, PA and majored in Linguistics at Carleton.
Daamir is most looking forward to being able to be an advocate and a voice for students who grew up similarly to him.
And, his advice for rising seniors (this goes for both high school and college students) would be that it’s okay to not know what’s next for you. Truly, it’s okay to not know where you want to go to school, what you want to study, or what your plans will be post graduation. As time goes on, the pieces will begin to fall into place and you’ll figure it out.
Please give them both a warm welcome to the Admissions Office when you see them during online information sessions or virtual interviews. We are so excited for them to join our team!
