Megan Morrison, a graduate of Middlesex School, is participating in Carleton College's career center Boston Scholars Program.

Carleton's Scholars Program, to which students must apply and be chosen to participate, consists of exploratory industry tours that typically last 3–4 days at the beginning of Carleton's winter break. The tours introduce a group of students to a variety of organizations within a particular field of interest (e.g., public policy, green tech, business/finance, film/television, public health/medicine, etc.). These tours include site visits, panel discussions, receptions, and group reflection. Some programs include home-stays with recent alumni in the area.

Morrison of Acton, Mass., is taking part in the Boston Scholars Program in the education field. The group of 11 students are scheduled to visit Teach for America, National Park Service, Discovering Justice, Brookline Public Schools, Match Charter School, Codman Charter School and Health Center, and The Kennedy School at Harvard.

Ranked among the nation's top liberal arts institutions, Carleton is a private, co-educational college of 1,900 students located 40 miles south of Minneapolis and St. Paul. High academic standards, an excellent teaching faculty and a diverse student body contribute to Carleton's outstanding reputation.
