Shalin Carranza ’20

Associate Director for Young Alumni Philanthropy, Alumni Annual Fund Office

Half Costa Rican and half Minnesotan, I had the wonderful experience of growing up in San Jose, CR while visiting Carleton for my mother’s Reunions and see our extended family every five summers. This familiarity with the college as well as a strong interest in the liberal arts thanks to the International Baccalaureate program lead to my enrollment and eventual graduation with a Political Science degree as part of the Class of 2020. I returned to Carleton in 2021, working for the office that hosted the happiest memories of my visits to the United States- the Alumni Relations Office.

I now work as the Associate Director for Young Alumni Philanthropy at the Alumni Annual Fund. I am delighted to work with our youngest alumni cultivating lifelong connections and financial support for the opportunities that the world class education at Carleton provides.


At Carleton since 2021.
