The latest cohort of Carleton Leader 3 has identified complex issues facing the university, which have served as the focal points for their Strategic Impact Groups (SIG’s). We invite you to join us in supporting and engaging with your colleagues and to learn more about each group’s progress, leadership insights and experience at the upcoming Landing Event.

Food Insecurity at Carleton University
As the cost of living and food continues to rise, the demand for food assistance to students on campus increases. Our Strategic Impact Group will explore opportunities to make impact in this space, through a multi-pronged approach to address food insecurity on our campus.
Social Cohesion
Social engagement and connection enhance team building, bolster individual and group success, build trust, improve collaboration, creativity, and communication, to name a few. The abrupt pivot to remote working during the pandemic presented a unique challenge – students, faculty, and staff had to unlearn and relearn ways of working together. While many eagerly anticipated the “return to normal” after COVID restrictions lifted, campus life is not what it was. There seem to be fewer people on campus, fewer opportunities for spontaneous interaction with colleagues to discuss research, teaching, and university life. Such social interactions are often a source of new ideas, innovation, and collegial governance. Our project is motivated by the perceived decline in social engagement among and across academic and professional staff on campus following the pandemic. We delve into the question: how can we increase social engagement and connections on the Carleton campus?
