“When we see greater diversity in the workplace, we see greater representation of opinion, experience, and need. When the general population is represented in politics, on a corporate team, or in a school, satisfaction, success, and involvement rises. Equal opportunity and equal representation support growth in every field.”

“I have always been someone who questions what I’ve grown up being taught, and Carthage was a great way to explore that. I got to have my worldview turned upside-down and was given the resources and ability to explore my own passions, to dig deeper to uncover truths about things I had accepted as fact for my whole life. I was taught strategies for resilience, both in my academic and personal life, and my passion for service was fostered throughout my time at Carthage in many different expressions.”
