Carthage faculty and staff from across campus are engaging in the Moon Shot initiative. Each office and department has a role to play in meeting our goal of eliminating equity gaps in retention and graduation across campus. More teams will take shape as we move through the multi-year project and new projects are launched. Teams will be updated as we move forward.
