1. Video Speaker's Corner Arrives On
Campus
Starting this
week, Carleton students are being asked to lend their
voice to the University's new student recruitment video.
Titled "This is my Carleton," the recruitment video will
showcase what makes Canada's Capital University a great
choice for prospective students. A major portion of the
video will include unscripted comments from current
students.
A video booth, similar to A-Channel or
Much Music's Speaker's Corner, will be travelling the
campus for three weeks, looking for current students to
share their thoughts about what makes Carleton
unique.
Be a part of the Carleton story. Tell us
what you believe makes Carleton great! Share your
thoughts about a special professor, your program, co-op
placement or favourite campus activity...whatever you
think prospective students would be interested in.
Today, the booth can be found in the University
Centre (Cafeteria). |

Mike Penney,
men's swim team, and Valerie Charbonneau, women's ice
hockey team, are the Carleton University Ravens-Ottawa
Senators Athletes of the Week for the week ending
February 12, 2006.
Penney, a fourth-year
aerospace engineering student, earned three Ontario
University Athletic (OUA) bronze medals at the 2006 OUA
championships, held in Sudbury, Ontario. Penney also
qualified for the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS)
national championship tournament, which will take place
the weekend of February 24 to 26, by swimming the 400
individual medley in a time of 4:34.16.
Meanwhile, Charbonneau stopped 61 shots in a
women's ice hockey doubleheader in Montreal on the
weekend. The Sudbury native stopped Concordia University
on a penalty shot in the first period of the Friday game
and helped Carleton earn its first ever Quebec Students
Sport Federation varsity team point by holding off the
CIS fourth ranked McGill Martlets until the Martletts
earned a 2-1 overtime victory. Congratulations to Penney
