Here's your news for August from on and off campus.
Everything tastes better in the summer, don't you think? Here in Northfield, we've rented local sheep to take care of invasive species near Lyman Lakes, turning the town of Cows, Colleges, and Contentment into one of Lambs, Learning, and Leisure. The campus will be looking beautiful for the arrival this week of alumni volunteers for
CAVE, followed soon by varsity athletes and other early arrivals for the fall term. It's not too late to celebrate the stellar spring season for Eclipse, Carleton's Division III women's Ultimate team: not only did they finish as national runners-up,
Maya Kalmus '23 was named the offensive player of the year and
Cameron Barton '16 and Emma Nicosia '17 coaches of the year. And if you've watched
Oppenheimer recently, you can thank
Kai Bird '73 for writing the book that made the movie possible (and read his recent
New York Times editorial). What's up for the end of your summer? Let us know, and stay in touch—and read on for more news from Carleton.
