I got to take a field trip to Northfield and @carleton.edu to report this sports/health combo story. QB Jack Curtis received a cancer diagnosis in June. He's determined to play every football game this fall amid chemotherapy treatment. "I'm looking forward to getting back to my normal life."

HUGE congratulations to Claire McFadden ’13 on joining the writing team for Saturday Night Live!!! We expect lots of high-brow jokes next season about the amazing value of small, liberal arts colleges in the Midwest 😉💙 variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Never bet against our starting quarterback, Jack Curtis ’26! Even a cancer diagnosis can’t disrupt his commitment to Carleton Football. Good luck battling for the Goat today! We're all rooting for you 💛💙 Watch or read his story on CBS News: www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Quirky (kwәr-kē), adjective: having many quirks — a peculiar trait or idiosyncrasy — usually in an interesting or appealing way. The Spring 2025 edition of Common Time in the Voice asks Carls the question: When people say Carleton is quirky, what do they mean? www.carleton.edu/voice/storie...

Wondering what our Young Alumni are up to? Chyna Sanders ’21 is now a Human Resources Project Manager at @houstonmethodist.bsky.social! She makes sure that the staff members taking care of patients and innovative research have someone who is taking care of them. C’YA out there! youtu.be/aAoSRRObefo

It has been a busy year in @carleton.edu climate & sustainability work! Sharing a few highlights from this year & I know this work, to support students & connect in action, especially matters now. www.carleton.edu/sustainabili...

Sustainability work teeters on the precipice between hope and doom, which can be difficult to visualize. For the Winter 2025 Voice cover, we turned to a Minnesota artist whose work deftly navigates this balance—Gregory Euclide. Download the full cover illustration: www.carleton.edu/voice/storie...

I started a new thing at Carleton College! It highlights the breadth of a liberal arts education, reminds students that faculty don't know EVERYTHING, and is loads of fun! In "Guess Lectures," faculty give 7-minute talks using someone else’s slides from an unrelated discipline, sight unseen.

It’s TIME to add another Carl to the #TIME100! Wesley Sundquist ’81 has been named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People of 2025, along with virologist Tomáš Cihlář, for their research leading to a highly effective drug that prevents HIV infections. www.carleton.edu/news/stories...

Yesterday, @aacu.org released a public statement opposing government overreach in higher ed, w/ more than 200 signatories—Carleton president @alisonbyerly.bsky.social is proudly among them. She spoke w/ @chronicle.com about the responsibility she felt to be visible: www.chronicle.com/article/more...

Local @carleton.edu celebrities in upcoming KYMN programming for Earth Day. Rob, Julianna, & I talk about climate action on campus & how we are connecting with others to decarbonize & adapt. Students play a big role in this as learners & leaders of change.

Onward! Something good today. Annual emissions report is up! unhsimap.org/public/insti... As of FY24, @carleton.edu has reduced 71% of its Scope 1 & 2 emissions and 28% of its Scope 3 emissions. This includes major operational investment in district geothermal, passive housing, & more!
