Carleton Connections
2024 Heywood NewsletterSomething came full circle for Paul Epton ’74 as he returned to campus in 2022 to begin planning his 50th Reunion. Just off the Bald Spot were the remnants of the Music and Drama Center— recently demolished after the performing arts had moved to a new home—a building that had officially opened during his first year at Carleton, and one he spent many hours in, nurturing a newfound passion.
“Carleton meant so much to me and set my life in a direction it wouldn’t have otherwise taken,” Paul says. “I attach a great deal of importance to Carleton, and that’s why I’ve made a significant legacy provision for Carleton. This is one more way I can give back.”
