Together, the faculties produce a weekly electronic newsletter launched in January 2011. This is Your BA covers the stories, news, events and accomplishments of our students and professors.
The newsletter is distributed through MyCarleton to your Connect account.
But just in case you missed an edition, current and archived stories can be found on this site. Departmental events for the week and upcoming events are also listed, so you can plan your week or schedule in future events that interest you.
