<p>Carleton has an insanely dedicated bunch of alumni - giving rates are the highest of ANY university or LAC in the country. While the alumni network is largest in the Midwest, there are plenty of bicoastal alums to be found (more than 1/3 of students come from the northeast or west coast). </p>
<p>Last year a new program was initiated connecting graduating seniors to alumni and parents that has been a great success leading to job offers, summer work or internship offers, and even general career advice. </p>

<p>The program’s being copied by a number of other schools now. There was a profile of this in The Chronicle of Higher Education last year when it got started.</p>
