Hello, my name is Andra Brown. I am currently a freshman who is a potential History, Asian Studies, or Psychology major. I’ve always found maps interesting, and I also really like learning about local history, whether it be in Northfield or my hometown. In my opinion, history is not just what was deemed worthy to put in the textbooks. Some fun facts about me are that I’m left-handed, I speak
Hello everyone! I will be one of the page authors this term. I am a geology major and history minor in my junior year at Carleton.

Step one of intentionally walking four blocks of Northfield directly south of Carleton College’s campus is abandoning your backpack behind a tree; my dorm was too far away, my computer and books were too heavy, and time was ticking.

The houses in this part of Northfield are an eclectic mix of several different styles, colors, sizes, and layouts that

It was extremely nice out, and as I walked south on Union Street I saw several people out enjoying the weather (and one very cute dog) and heard plenty of birdsong. Once I reached the intersection of 5th Street and Union Street where my area begins, I took a

On campus, I work as a programmer for the DataSquad and am a member of the Carleton House of Pancakes, the Men’s D-III Ultimate Frisbee team.
