The Division of Development and Alumni Relations supports Carleton’s mission to provide an exceptional liberal arts education by building and sustaining relationships with and among our colleagues and members of the broader Carleton community, to promote engagement and philanthropy.

Collaborative
We facilitate collaboration amongst members of the broader Carleton community, which is essential to ensuring the college’s success. By working intentionally with understanding, trust, and care, we achieve more together than we can alone.

Inclusive
We incorporate the diverse perspectives of our extended community into our work to develop a sense of belonging and purpose, broaden our horizons, and build genuine relationships.

Innovative
We advance creative and original ways to approach our work and achieve our shared goals. We take risks to push our division forward, enhance our offerings, and bring our alumni, parents, and friends together.

Transformative
We believe in the transformational power of the Carleton community. We expect the division of Development and Alumni Relations to create an environment that honors curiosity, exploration, failure, and growth through meaningful connections, engagement, and contributions.
