Function
The mission of the Campus Recreation Advisory Committee is to be a resource for the Carleton College Community and to serve as a voice for Campus Recreation users to express ideas and concerns involving Campus Recreation facilities and operations. Its principal objectives are to be open to suggestions, to encourage participation, and to collaborate with the Carleton Community. The Committee will assist the Campus Recreation management in reviewing/evaluating facilities, services, programs, and equipment while supporting the missions and goals of Campus Recreation throughout all of its locations on campus.

Committee Work
The committee meets once each academic term unless there is a need for additional meetings. Most meetings take place over a lunch hour and typically last an hour.
Meeting agendas are determined by the co-chairs (Director and Assistant Director of Campus Recreation). The committee reports to the P.E.A.R. department, and does some cross-reporting with Divisions of Student Life and External Relations. They also share information to the college community through the recreation center website.
