“I loved my time in Carleton’s Department of Philosophy. My professors were passionate, brilliant, and challenged me to be better than I was. Vitally, this challenge came with support. My professors were accessible and interested in my success, even when I struggled. In that environment, I gave Carleton Philosophy everything I had. Almost twenty years on, I still use what I learned, daily.”
