About RISE
The Racialized & International Student Experience is a lounge for students of all ethnicities and international backgrounds on campus to gather to kick back, relax and socialize with fellow students. RISE aims to be a safe(r) space for Carleton students of all racial, ethnic, cultural and international identities through peer-to-peer dialogue, programming, and support. RISE hosts a series of events throughout the year designed to celebrate international diversity and explore multiculturalism within the Carleton community.
RISE is a welcoming hub for racialized and international students at Carleton, dedicated to celebrating the vibrant diversity that enriches our campus community. Through our signature series, Mosaic, we showcase global cultures, cuisines, and traditions shared by our peers, creating a space where everyone can learn, connect, and feel seen.
We also proudly lead Black History Month ceremonies that honour Black excellence, history, and creativity, inviting all Ravens to celebrate and learn together. Beyond these major events, RISE hosts engaging workshops, socials, and seminars designed to uplift, empower, and support students from all backgrounds in a fun and inclusive environment.
