Washington Reflections
In the midst of a transition of Canadian ambassadors to the United States, outgoing ambassador Michael Wilson spoke to the Carleton community on Oct. 6 about his experience and the changes he witnessed during his time in Washington.
Wilson began his lecture, entitled “Reflections on momentous times in Washington,” by saying he would not simply be describing his role as ambassador, but rather discussing what he referred to as “embassy leave-behinds.”

Sterritt said an increasing number of second-year students are requesting to live in residence.
