Alumni Farewells

This website displays notices of alumni deaths reported to the college, along with comments from the Carleton community. They are ordered by when the college was notified of their passing, most recent first.

Browse by class year or major, or enter a search term below. Search terms can include a specific name, a first name, or last name. A search of a specific year will provide a list of alumni who passed in that year. A search of a date (formatted January 1, 2020) will provide a list of alumni who passed on that date.
