Summer Send-Offs

We are excited to welcome the Class of 2030 and new transfer students to campus next fall! Summer Send-Offs are an opportunity for Carleton’s newest students to come together and meet other Carls from their area who will be a part of their incoming class.

For alumni, current students and their families, we hope you will join us at one of these events!

• These optional gatherings, hosted by current Carleton students, parents, and alumni, are intended to be purely social. Have fun! They are not intended to serve as an orientation.
• You are welcome to register for any gathering that is convenient for you, either in person or virtual.
• For the virtual events, we encourage parents or family to register for the gatherings separately from their students and use separate devices during the event if possible, as we will break into separate student and parent/family breakout rooms during the event. Parents and family are welcome to register for these gatherings even if their student is not able to participate, and vice versa.
