Doug King has played many roles at Carleton since 1992. Formal assignments included teacher, researcher, undergraduate and graduate program supervisors, and Chair of the department; but for so many it also included some combination of mentor and friend. In May 2021 Doug lost a short but determined battle with cancer. We aim to ensure that the contributions Doug made to Carleton are commemorated and celebrated as examples for the rest of us.
Planting a commemorative tree on campus is a small gesture compared to the impact Doug has had, but it will help ensure that we remember his commitment and contributions. A commemorative tree will also mean that new members of the Carleton family will have the opportunity to discover & learn about Doug’s contributions.
