Carleton’s founders, in 1866, likely never imagined that the tiny Minnesota college they created would one day be celebrated as a national leader in liberal arts education. The complex global issues tackled by our students, such as artificial intelligence or climate change, would have been equally unimaginable.
We, too, can’t know what Carleton students will study 25, 50, or 100 years from now. But thanks to the generosity of Joseph Lee Heywood Society members like you, we do know that however the world changes, Carleton will be uniquely positioned to bring together brilliant students and dedicated faculty members to explore what every liberal arts discipline has to offer and develop the skills and qualities needed to confront the world’s challenges.
Thank you for being one of 2,430 alumni, parents, and friends of Carleton who recognize the importance of safeguarding the College’s future. Just as our founders went to great lengths to protect their fledgling institution, you are showing great dedication that will keep academic excellence at the heart of Carleton for generations to come.
Many thanks!
