David Ahrens ’22

Hi! My name is David Ahrens (he/him) and I am an Assistant Dean of Admissions and I work with our communications, and international recruitment teams to get students around the world excited about Carleton! I also oversee event communications, group visits, the art portfolio process, and transfer student admissions. I am the primary recruiter and application reader for students from Northern Minnesota, Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., South Carolina, North Carolina, parts of California, Wyoming, Montana, China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

Please reach out if you have any questions about visiting Carleton, submitting an art portfolio, or any admissions and/or Carleton questions you may have!

I graduated from Carleton in 2022 with a B.A. in Biology and Chinese and with an Art History minor.
