SLAI strives to provide a liberal arts college experience for each student who attends our summer programs. That experience starts with the application, continues during their time on campus, and extends well beyond as they build long lasting friendships and a connection to a liberal arts education.

Each SLAI program concludes with a final symposium showcasing the work of the Summer Carls. Program faculty will determine the proper event in order to display the work completed by their students (examples include poster presentations, recitations, demonstrations, theater performances). The symposium is open to families and is an opportunity for students to present their inquiry based work.

During their time at Carleton, our goal is for students to:

• Engage in interesting and challenging academics

• Meet new individuals with diverse perspectives

• Work with college faculty and Carleton students

• Experience life at a residential, liberal arts college

• Enjoy a safe and fun campus environment
