Dear Carleton Alums,

Thank you for supporting the vibrant student life on campus! I am so grateful that alums around the US and world are willing to give back and directly support the student experience at Carleton. Because of your contribution, I was able to fund an unpaid internship and externship opportunity last year in Washington, DC. Because of this opportunity, I now have a better sense of what I would like to do with my career.

Thank you for your generosity and support!
