Hear From Students

“My 8-year-old self was a nerd who always had her head in books — I am sure she’d be insanely surprised to see that I am pursuing a career outside of ‘Librarian Studies.’”

Lily Lourigan ’25
Majors: Chinese
Minors: Theatre and Music
Hometown: Kenosha, Wis.
“I received the Modern Language Scholarship for Chinese. This scholarship means everything to me since I would not be attending Carthage without it.”

Laura Xiu Hung ’24
Majors: Chinese, IPE
Minors: Asian Studies
Hometown: Sun Prairie, Wisconsin
“My classmates and professors make the environment fun and engaging, which really benefits my learning. Carthage professors are clearly passionate about the subjects they teach, and it’s easily reflected in the students’ learning.”

Maya Zenner ’25
Majors: Computer Science, Chinese
Hometown: Racine, Wis.
“I chose Carthage primarily because of its size and the majors offered here. I came from a very small high school, so Carthage’s size made it a very easy transition. The smaller class sizes appealed to me as well, as I feel that I can better get my questions answered quickly. The beautiful view of Lake Michigan also helped!”
