Carleton University thanks everyone who submitted a nomination for the Towards Carleton@100 working group. The strong and positive response from across the community reflected a high level of interest in contributing to this important work. 

With more than 260 nominations, the steering committee had the opportunity to draw from a broad and diverse pool when forming the initial working groups. While the first phase represents one point of entry, many additional opportunities will be available in the months ahead to engage with the working groups and contribute valuable perspectives as the work moves forward.
