A massive congratulations to all of the incredibly deserving 2023-2024 CASG scholarship recipients! CASG's Scholarship Committee - of which details of decisions are documented on the CASG website under Funding Opportunities->Scholarships - was greatly impressed with the amazing achievements that all Carleton students are undertaking every single day!

Congratulations again and thank you for making Carleton a much more equitable, inclusive and active community!

CASG is proud to have been able to financially support a myriad of community building and academic events this Winter 2024 semester through our Community Sponsorship and AIF funds. Through these events, the academic success and university experience of students has been empowered and enriched.

Thanks so much and shout out to all the academic societies that put these events on!

CASG's final study snacks giveaway of the academic year is happening this Friday April 5 at 1:00 PM in the UC/NN Atrium! Come and get some free snacks to help get the brain juices flowing - no strings attached!

As per Grace Haime from the SEO, effective immediately:

"The Student Experience Office will provide classroom bookings for accredited academic societies/groups for the purpose of academic study sessions without requiring an approved event risk management form.

These will be processed provided that the title for that booking includes that it is an academic study session.

Please note that the booking must only be used to study and if combined with something else (ex. study and movie night) an approved event risk management form would be required."

CASG will be giving away study snacks this Wed March 20 in the NN/UC Galleria! Come on by and say hi for some free snacks brought to you by your academic student government!!

Hello Ravens,

We are asking you to please consider joining CASG in voting YES from October 16th-18th in the “CUSA by-election 2023” referendum to increase the USC levy.

Increasing the levy would:
- Ensure the sustainability of the food bank
- Streamline administration and service for students
- Allow for the diverse dietary needs of students to be met

The future of the USC (the only food bank on campus) needs your support. Join us in the fight to tackle food insecurity on our campus.

Sincerely,
The CASG Executive Team
