    In parallel, established an endowed fund to support student internships in high growth industries (e.g., unpaid or low paid internships at very early stage tech startups) as a way of creating a long run multiplier effect from sending graduates into promising careers who later direct philanthropy back to Carleton.

    Of note, the name of the girls camp was given by a local indigenous American woman of the Ojibwe nation: it means, "strong spirited woman." Gladly send tuition for our two daughters, and more.
