The countdown has begun! Today, Friday, Nov. 4, marks\u00a075 days until the official launch of celebrations for Carleton\u2019s 75th<\/span>\u00a0anniversary year.<\/p>\n

Carleton\u2019s 75th<\/sup> is an opportunity to celebrate the enduring vision of the citizens who opened the original college in 1942 to serve their community, a guiding principle that today encompasses local, regional, national and international communities.<\/p>\n

Since opening its doors to students building their careers as they emerged from military service in the Second World War, Carleton has grown into a leading post-secondary institution, one that has provided a unique educational experience to more than 130,000 graduates over seven decades. That\u2019s certainly something worth celebrating.<\/p>\n

Please explore the CU75<\/a> website to see the history we are reflecting upon, the alumni we are celebrating and a list of the activities we are planning.<\/p>\n

Be sure to mark Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2017<\/strong> on your calendars and join the Carleton community at the 75th<\/sup> anniversary launch in the University Centre Galleria.

CU75 Memories<\/h3>\n

We\u2019re also launching regular CU75 Memories contests on social media. This month\u2019s contest is all about Carleton\u2019s football history. Cheer on our Ravens as they cap off a banner season by voting for your favourite historical photo<\/a> of the team through the decades. You could win a $250 gift card to the book store.

In 75 days, Carleton will embark on a year-long celebration of the university\u2019s successful past, dynamic present and promising future.<\/p>\n
