165 • 50 • 25

From simple beginnings embraced by Lutheran pioneers nearly 165 years ago, Carthage has emerged as a leading liberal arts institution, respected for its challenging academic program, personal care and attention, and an abiding respect for human values.

Today the College has much to celebrate: 165 years of great memories and people; 50 years of a wonderful partnership with the Kenosha community; and the past 25 transformative years, a period during which we have achieved the vision of Carthage's longest serving president.

While we rejoice in these accomplishments, our job is not done. Hard work and sacrifices by others have positioned us better than any of our predecessors to make responsible decisions in securing the future of Carthage. It is essential that we do everything possible to continue our forward momentum.

We are proud to announce Celebrating Carthage, the largest fundraising campaign in the history of the College. The goal of Celebrating Carthage is to raise $1 million for each year of the College's life — $165 million — by December 31, 2012.
