This week our feature includes pictures from the all-campus dodgeball game, the Cujokra Improv Show, Farmstock, the career talk by Jacob Titus ’06, the spelling bee and a talk entitled Grassroots Organizing the Wellstone Way by Jeff Blodgett.

Early May is full of activities at Carleton College, filling this week’s feature with pictures of Convocation with Edmund Pellegrino, a faculty research exchange titled Dialogos 1, a reading by Brittani Sonnenberg, a talk about GO GIRLS! (Giving Our Girls Inspiration and Resources for Lasting Self-Esteem), MPIRG’s Detox Day, an event about sexual violence called SpeakUp, a talk by José Ovejero, a play by Teatro del Pueblo called “Help Wanted,” and the International Festival.

Our “Week in Pictures” photo feature returns for the spring term, as the Carleton campus is abuzz with a wide variety of student activities. Aaron Kaufman’s senior concert, the synchronized swimming team’s annual spring show, Irish guitarist Dáithí Sproule and wind musician Laura MacKenzie’s concert, and sports action photos from men’s and women’s tennis, along with baseball and softball, highlight our images this week.

Carleton’s plans for installing a second wind turbine was featured in the Monday, Feb. 23 edition of the Star Tribune. The article looks at Carleton and St. Olaf’s wind turbines, which are identical, and wonders in a fun way if there is a “green rivalry” between the two Northfield schools. It’s not a competition, said Chris Erickson ’08, Carleton ENTS educational associate, and others at both schools. The colleges share an interest in renewable energy, and they’ve traded ideas about the turbines.

This week’s “Photo Feature: Week in Pictures” contains images from the Jan. 30 convocation, the Dacie Moses 126th birthday celebration brunch, and the panel discussion on the recent Israeli-Gaza conflict.

We bring you another weekly installment of our “Week in Pictures.” Winter term at Carleton is in full swing, and we have images of the weekly convocation series by the Wall Street Journal’s Doug Blackmon, photos from “Volunteer from Carleton” and the Lunar New Year celebration, hosted by Carleton’s Asian Students in America. We also have images from the Knights’ home men’s and women’s basketball contests, as well as some swimming images from the Knights’ Carleton Mini-Invite.

During the second week of winter term Carleton hosted a number of exciting events including a convocation with Melissa Harris-Lacewell, the Doh Burma Community social, and a men’s basketball game.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration, held at Carleton’s Skinner Memorial Chapel on Monday, Jan. 19, is now available for viewing via streaming video. The event featured guest speaker Mary Easter, Rae Schupack Nathan Professor of Dance and the Performing Arts, emerita, as well as musical performances by the Northfield Youth Concert Choir and Jamaal Magee ’10 (Chicago). The event was co-sponsored by the Northfield Human Rights Commission, which presented its 2009 Human Rights Award to Cherif Keita, professor of French and Francophone studies, as part of the evening’s celebration.

Carleton sophomore Michelle Hesterberg was quoted in a Star Tribune article that examined what colleges and univerisities (and its students) are doing to fight rising text book costs. Hesterberg elected not to purchase one of her text books as an “e-book,” as the paper copy appeals to her. “I still really like having that paper copy,” she said. You can read the entire article on the Star Tribune website.

In this week’s installment of our new “Photo Feature” segment, we have photos of the convocation by the inventor of Rollarblades, the Carleton Trustee dinner where George Cassat ’46 was honored for his incredible support of Carleton, and the jazz concert.
