Why Carthage?
“I stumbled across Carthage’s website in my college search while looking for schools in the Midwest. Initially, I was drawn to Carthage because of the lake 和 all the things that the College had to offer. After doing more research, scheduling a 之旅, 和 stepping on campus, I immediately knew that Carthage was the place for me. There were so many ways to get involved, the people were friendly, 和 the campus was stunning!”
Campus involvement
“Being from Minnesota nine hours away, I decided to get involved in as much as possible in order to meet people at the College. Because of this, I gained many leadership roles for which I will forever be grateful.
“Currently, I am the president of the National Dance Education Organization; the director of external relations 和 project leader of Cloth for Change through Enactus; 和 a member, historian, 和 service chair of Alpha Chi Omega. I’m also a part of Carthage United to Rescue Earth, Horticulture Club, Habitat for Humanity, 和 the dance program.
Golden opportunities
“Carthage has given me many experiences that I will be forever grateful for. Through Enactus, an entrepreneurial business club, I was invited to attend the Enactus National Competition in New York with the rest of the e-board 和 project leaders. I gained so much inspiration for our projects in Wisconsin 和 immensely enjoyed being able to network with other young entrepreneurs from all over the country.”
Internships or campus employment
“On campus, I have three amazing jobs that I love. One of the three jobs I have on campus is co-coordinating Interfaith Lunch through the Center for Faith 和 Spirituality. Interfaith Lunch brings people with all different backgrounds together to broaden our knowledge of faith 和 spirituality, or the lack thereof.
“Along with Interfaith Lunch, I am a student ambassador in the Office of Admissions 和 recently took on my third job working in the Fine 艺术 Box Office through the Office of Performing 和 Visual 艺术.”
Career goal
“After graduating from Carthage, I would love to gain experience in the 市场营销 side of business with an end goal of owning a small business.”
Favorite memory
“One of my favorite Carthage memories was watching the men’s volleyball national championship game in spring 2022. The arena was packed, 和 the students brought the energy! Seeing so many Carthage students come out to support our school 和 team was so fun.”
