Alumni Spotlights

“The women’s and gender studies classes I took gave me a wider world view. I learned to look at things from other people’s perspectives and not just my own.”

“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.”

“My Carthage experience helped me see that I am not limited to what I can do to make an impact if it is something I am really passionate about. I just can’t be afraid to try and fail to figure out what that is.”
