This post was particularly important for me, because I completed my C.T.E.S.L. (84), M.A.(86) and Ph.D.(95) at Carleton. The whole campus holds dear memories for me, and that’s not including the memories of my 19 years as a faculty member here at Carleton.

I would just add that while I share your wish that “all Carleton students … find their own particular sites of memory on this campus … and that those memories will be good ones,” I also hope that all Carleton students will find their own particular professors with whom meaningful connections are made that will bring fond memories of their studies at Carleton as well. I know that in Linguistics and Psychology I had many important mentors who shaped my future and made “the place” important to me.

Ah, but what else would a social/personality psychologist say, right? It’s people in places that we remember :-)
