“I plan on staying local in either 出赛 or near home, and I’m hoping to be able to both teach and coach somewhere where I can be a positive attribute to the lives of students.”

“All of the faculty I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with have been great. 从我的 Intellectual Foundation’s teacher to the coaching staff, every Carthage faculty member has allowed me to feel wanted and cared for. Having positive relationships with the faculty here has helped me to create more opportunities for myself at Carthage, and it’s great knowing that I can reach out to any past or present professors if I need help.”

“My favorite class at Carthage so far has to be a tie between Modern Caribbean: From Pirates to the Cuban Missile Crisis and 知识基础. Both classes had great lectures and plenty of discussion time, which made the classes fly by. 在海盗, I remember going back to do the readings and being shocked by how little knowledge I came in with, which made me look forward to each day of the lecture. And as for 知识基础, I had a professor who never failed to facilitate great conversation.’”

“Aside from classes and work, 田径 take up a good portion of my time. I am lucky to have a great team and an even better coach who helps me to develop as a person and athlete each day. Competing this season was super fun, and I’m beyond grateful that I get to continue for another three years.

“I am also a member of the 姐妹会 and have really found a home there. We’re a community of great women who come from all sorts of backgrounds and experiences, and I’m happy to say I’m a part of this great organization.”

“ toughest class I’ve had so far is Elementary Statistics. The class itself isn’t too difficult, but math and I have never been friends. My general disinterest in numbers makes the class harder for me, but that’s not to say it’s a bad class.”

“I’ve been lucky enough to work in the Urban Teacher Preparation Program 校园里的办公室. Professor Siovahn Williams 和夫人. Brumund-Smith are great employers, and I feel like I’ve gotten to learn so much about how local 教育 works in 出赛. We’ve put on a few different events this year, such as Teacher Appreciation and the Urban Education Summit. 仍然, 即使是在较小的范围内, I’ve gotten to meet the students the schools we work so closely with through their tour dates and have gotten to play trivia and connect with them.”

“I have not had too many experiences just yet, but next year I get to participate in being an 取向 Leader, 同行的教练, 更聪明的导师, and I’m excited to meet and help the incoming freshman.”

“Some of my favorite memories at Carthage have been spending loads of time with my friends in our floor lounge doing everything from homework to set up for movie and game nights.”

“My favorite spot on campus is between the third-floor lounge of Tarble and the field by the 接吻的岩石. The lounge has so many memories for me and my friends, but it’s always nice to get outside and appreciate the 湖 我们在校园里.”

“ biggest surprise about living in 出赛 and going to Carthage is that Wisconsin has grown on me. Everyone here is super welcoming, and there’s never a dull moment, even at such a small school.”

“当我8岁的时候, I thought I was going to be a pro basketball player, and judging by the fact that I got cut from JV, I think it’s safe to say 8-year-old me would be shocked. 当我还是个孩子的时候, I was always convinced I would never want to teach, but once I stepped into a classroom, 感觉很好, so I think my younger self would be proud.”

“ 教育 program here is fantastic. I love spending so much time in the field, even just as a freshman in the program, and I already have over 30 hours of classroom experience. 至于 历史系, I am lucky to say that the professors are amazing and truly have a passion for what they teach and make lectures enjoyable.”

“I chose Carthage because the 教育 program really stuck out to me. I also was very fortunate to be able to continue my 田径 career here, which was another big draw.”
