The Student Activities Office is excited to once again offer the Carleton Winter Wardrobe. The Wardrobe provides Carleton students with gently used winter clothing and accessories free of charge. Minnesota winters can be extreme and we recognize that not all students are adequately prepared to be outside during the long winter months. The Wardrobe was designed to focus on Carleton students with the greatest financial need, but is open to the entire student body.
Dates of Operation & Location
The Winter Wardrobe will be held Tuesday, October 14 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. It is located in Sayles 252.
Donations
Thanks to generous donors throughout the previous academic year, we are starting out with a great assortment of coats in 2025. We are most in need of gloves, mittens, scarves, and winter socks.
