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 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 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 marketing 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 students brought the energy! Seeing so many Carthage students come out to support our school 和 team was so fun.”
