The Eric ’66 and Mimi ’66 Carlson Endowed Fund for Community and Civic Engagement will support experiential learning opportunities for students participating in community initiatives.

Carleton’s Center for Community and Civic Engagement (CCCE) has established a new endowed fund, named the Eric ’66 and Mimi ’66 Carlson Endowed Fund for Community and Civic Engagement. Intended to support experiential learning opportunities for students participating in community initiatives through the CCCE, the fund was created through a gift from Eric and Marilyn “Mimi” Carlson, both class of ’66 and parents of a ’97 Carleton graduate, who have been generous and enthusiastic supporters of Carleton for many years.

“The community work that our students do through the CCCE is a fundamental part of many Carleton students’ experiences, and has an enormous impact on our local community,” President Alison Byerly said. “We are deeply grateful to Eric and Mimi Carlson for their support of this critical form of civic engagement.”
