Internal Communications
Carleton’s Top 5 is the daily newsletter for the internal Carleton community. To share your news, events and information, please submit your content by noon the business day prior to the desired publication date. For additional internal communication opportunities, contact editor@carleton.ca.
News and Events Bulletin Boards
University Communications manages the bulletin boards across campus titled “University News and Events.”
These bulletin boards are available for approved posters that share relevant university news, events and information with the Carleton community. Posters must follow Carleton’s Posting Policy and should be appropriate for display in shared campus spaces.
Before submitting or posting materials, please ensure your poster meets university requirements. For questions about bulletin board use or poster compliance, contact us.
