Move-in day for first-year students begins at 8:00 a.m. Tuesday, September 10, 2024.
Information sessions for Parents & Families on September 10 will conclude at approximately 7:30 p.m.
New Student Week (your first week on campus) will provide an overview of life at Carleton:
Meet your roommate and begin making friends
Transform your residence hall room into your own personal space
Meet your academic adviser and finalize class registration
Learn about the many resources, organizations and activities at Carleton
Begin to learn your way around campus and the surrounding community
Participate in a few Carleton traditions
All of this and more will be yours to experience, so come with your curiosity, energy and willingness to become a part of your new community at Carleton. By the end of New Student Week we hope you have a clear sense of how your own talents and abilities can flourish and grow. With a little effort, you will be prepared to thrive both academically and socially in your first year and beyond.
If you need special accommodations, please contact the Office of Accessibility Resources prior to your arrival by calling (507) 222-4464.

Frisbees have arrived!
Sneak peek for NSW! Each new student at Carleton receives a frisbee on Move-In Day where they write their information on the back, then compete in a throwing competition for prizes! After the throwing, new students pick up a random disc and return it to the rightful owner by the end of NSW for a chance to meet someone new!
After NSW, it`s common to see students throwing on the Bald Spot or around campus. These frisbees are also great for practice for those interested in joining one of Carleton`s six competitive ultimate teams.

Hey, y’all! My name is Ethan Whiteaker (they/them), and I will be one of your New Student Week PA’s this year. My job is to help our Student Activities Office in planning and running the Orientation Week, working with current students who will be your group leaders, and you will also see me running around campus doing various other things during NSW. I am so excited to see all of you in the Class of ‘27 get to campus this September!
I am a Math-Music double major from La Crosse, WI, and my academic interests revolve around composition informed by mathematical processes, punk and metal musicology, and jazz studies. During the school year, you can find me writing for the CowPrint and NoFidelity publications and submitting to BabyTeeth and the NoFidelity Imprint, which releases student music. Apart from my writing duties, I play in a band on campus—Paranoid Fiction, check us out on Spotify and Apple Music—as well as in a jazz chamber group. I am a radio host for KRLX and the NoFi imprint manager for the fall, so I will be setting up the station for our live music hour that happens once a week and working with students who want to release music. I spend my free time watching movies with my friends, jamming, and reading mystical realism books.
If you have any questions about the music or math program, publications on campus, or other questions relating to life at Carleton, please email me at whiteakere@carleton.edu!

Hi everyone!!
My name is Anna (she/her) and I’m one of two New Student Week Program Assistants this summer. Through my job, I help create schedules, organize and run events, and generally work to make things move as smoothly as possible for the class of 2027’s first week!
I’m from Grafton, Wisconsin, and a rising senior majoring in Political Science & International Relations and minoring in Public Policy. My other academic interests involve environmental studies, sustainability, history, and statistics. Outside of classes, I play on Eclipse (one of Carleton’s six club ultimate teams)! Running, reading, and friends take up the rest of my free time at school. If you have any questions about life at Carleton, the POSC major, playing ultimate here, or any other questions you think I could help with, please feel free to email me at eiferta@carleton.edu! I’m looking forward to meeting you all in the fall!! 🙂
Keep an eye out for Ethan`s post on Friday (your second NSW PA)!
