Making Progress on Causes that Matter
In addition to supporting students and investing in their future success, donors like you empower faculty, staff and students to create positive change in cause areas that matter to you, your families, your communities and society.
Here are a few inspiring examples from the past year.
Health and Wellness
The COVID-19 pandemic spotlighted the fragility of our healthcare systems. This realization brought into sharp focus the critical importance of taking a proactive, holistic approach to both physical and mental health.
With your support, we are striving to advance this cause through our research, partnerships, education and on-campus initiatives. We take care to foster a culture of wellness that equips students, faculty and staff to be ambassadors and advocates for good health—now and into the future.
Vibrant Social Fabric
Our social landscape has changed significantly over the past several years. In a time of rising polarization, divide and intolerance to difference, it’s more important than ever to invest in the activities and pursuits that ground our communities, strengthen our connections and allow us to better understand each other.
Together, we are striving to weave a stronger and more vibrant social fabric. Here’s how.
New, Inclusive Economy
As the world continues to face increasingly complex challenges, our businesses and workforce will have to adapt to drive lasting economic prosperity. Entrepreneurial thinking, the inclusion of diverse perspectives into workforce challenges, digital transformation and innovative solutions to work practices and service delivery are just a few examples of important considerations within the new economy.
Here are a couple examples of how Carleton, with your support, contributed to strengthening the new economy this year.
Environmental Sustainability
The climate emergency is undeniably one of the most pressing issues of our time. As extreme weather events, droughts and floods, forest fires, and biodiversity loss increase, we recognize the urgency with which we need to develop practical solutions and approaches to adapt to the realities of climate change.
Thanks to passionate donors like you, Carleton faculty and students are leading efforts today that will help future generations become more resilient to climate impacts.
