Carleton ACE Students, Falcon Quoted in MinnPost.com Story on Community Involvement
Carleton students who are part of the College’s Academic Civic Engagement (ACE) program, along with program director Adrienne Falcon, are mentioned in a MinnPost.com story on Northfield community leader Janet Lewis Muth. Muth has aided a number of local non-profit organizations by basically helping the groups help themselves. “You can help one individual with a given problem, but if you change systems then you help much more broadly,” Falcon says in the piece. “Janet is someone who is able to navigate levels from individual help to systems change really effectively.” Carleton students joined in Muth’s efforts to start a multicultural cook club, with the students eventually taking the lead over from Muth. Falcon and Carleton students also aided Muth in efforts to streamline transportation options for local residents who don’t own cars.
