“I always knew I wanted to come to Carthage. My dad is a Carthage alumnus, and he would take me to the College’s library when I was younger to work on my elementary school projects. I also had the opportunity to tour the College a few times while in middle and high school. I chose Carthgae because it felt like home. Additionally, I knew it would be easy to connect with my professors and peers.”

“Professors at Carthage are incredibly dedicated to helping students succeed. Every professor I’ve had has learned my name and many still greet me in the hallway. My professors have made me feel comfortable asking questions and for help.”

“My favorite class at Carthage was definitely Sex, Gender, and Sexuality in a Diverse World with Professor Bradley Zopf. That class showed how people with other identities experience the world. I enjoy classes that broaden my perspective on life.”

“Modern Caribbean: From Pirates to the Cuban Missile Crisis was a challenging class. The content was extremely interesting, but we were really challenged to dig deep into our readings. I learned a lot, but it was hard work. Ultimately, I am proud of how I did in the class and grateful to Professor Stephanie Mitchell for pushing us.”

“I am a student ambassador for the Admissions Office and give tours to prospective students. Additionally, I am working on starting a support system for grieving students. I lost my dad at the beginning of the summer, and I feel it is important to have resources for students grieving on campus.”

“I can see myself working in social services. I don’t know what that will look like, but my passion lies in caring for and supporting others.”

“My favorite spot on campus is the ceramics studio. I spent a lot of time there, and I am currently taking my third Ceramic Wheel-Throwing class.”

“My favorite Carthage memories were made while on my study tours. On my European choir tour, a couple of us took a short boat trip to a tiny island in Germany. There was a beautiful chapel that we felt we just had to sing in. The five of us sang one of our songs, which was absolutely magical. Another moment on the tour, we were in a cave, and our director had us sing; the acoustics were beautiful.”

“A huge part of studying is finding the right environment for you. For me, I need it quiet but not silent. The best study spot for me is the A. F. Siebert Chapel. It’s quiet enough to focus, but people still walk through, so I don’t feel isolated. Study space is different for everyone. If you enjoy stimulation while studying, then Starbucks is for you; if you prefer a quiet environment, then a study room might be a better option.”

“J�Ǿ��� clubs that seem even remotely interesting! The people there already have a common interest, and it’s a great starting space for deeper relationships.”
