Students

Now celebrating their ninth year, the MPNL and DPNL programs attract remarkably experienced students to the philanthropic sector. We invite you to read their profiles below or download the latest Summer 2021 Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership student highlights. The PANL Perspectives “Alumni Networks” page also includes in-depth interviews with past students and sector leaders.

And Carleton graduate students have access to professional development resources. These include skills workshops, one-on-one career and writing consultations, career-oriented events, and structured programs. To learn more, visit Graduate Professional Development.
