We invite you to visit our student memorial, located to the east of Lyman Lakes. The memorial honors students who lost their lives while enrolled at Carleton. Each ring represents a different student, whose name has been engraved on its edge. We hope you will visit this quiet place, holding in love and memory all our students who have passed away.

Carleton Student Memorial

Inspired by the mission of the College “to be a collaborative community where quiet reflection and active engagement are valued as sources of self-understanding and renewal,” the Student Memorial was thoughtfully designed by Tom Oslund of O2 Design. Its 15-foot-high steel structure displays the name and class year of each student engraved on six-inch cast bronze broken circles, hung randomly, linked together, and suspended from the top of the frame. The height of the frame allows the wind to move the strands to create audible chimes and the sunlight to illuminate the broken circles in varying patterns. The memorial provides a natural setting for peaceful reflection.

Carleton Student Memorial

Each member of our community has in some way shaped the College’s history and touched the lives of their fellow Carls. The College respectfully honors these students’ legacies with the Carleton Student Memorial.

The following list of students honored in the Student Memorial includes the location (corner of the memorial structure) where their name can be found.
