If you find yourself on Carleton University’s campus, look up \u2014 you’ll notice something special fluttering in the breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building on the success of the CU75 campaign<\/a>, when banners and giant billboards popped up across campus to showcase some of Carleton’s diverse and talented alumni, faculty and students, the university has launched a new street banner campaign ahead of two of the community’s biggest events of the year – Throwback Homecoming Week<\/a> and the 50th Panda Game<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have great momentum following Carleton’s 75th anniversary year,” says Carleton President Benoit-Antoine Bacon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

“I’m excited to feel the energy with the fall, with Throwback and the Panda Game, and to start planning the future of our university.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The banners welcome visitors to campus at both the Bronson Avenue and Colonel By Drive entrances, continuing into the heart of the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developing the new campaign was a collaborative effort among Carleton Alumni<\/a>, Athletics<\/a> and the Department of University Communications (DUC).<\/a> The main goal of the campaign is to celebrate the importance of Carleton’s alumni community and the varsity football program.<\/p>\n\n\n

Throwback runs from Sept. 10 to 17. Carleton will be welcoming some 10,000 alumni and their families to celebrate the grand history and bright future of the university with a variety of exciting events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throwback “is an opportunity for us to welcome alumni back to campus, to hear about their university experience and share their Carleton pride,” says Mark Savenkoff<\/a>, director of Alumni and Donor Relations at Carleton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To kick off Throwback week, Prof. Kim Hellemans<\/a> in Neuroscience and Prof. Jim Davies in Cognitive Science<\/a> and Computer Science<\/a> will host a live episode of their popular podcast  Minding the Brain<\/a><\/em> on Sept. 10. The podcast explores topics linked to cognitive and brain sciences, such as stress, imagination, emotion and addiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
