Appreciation Week 2024

Each June, faculty and staff come together as a community to celebrate each other through an appreciation event. As part of our celebration, we have planned a week of activities starting on Monday, June 24 until Friday, June 28. It’s a time to reconnect with friends and colleagues, not only in your own department or unit, but also from across campus.

Appreciation Week is also an opportunity for managers and directors to thank members of their teams for all they do for the Carleton community. Send a Service Excellence Thank You.
