Hear From Students

“The physics program here is amazing, with connections across the country that I’d hope would make for a great education and possibly help me find a job post-graduation.”

“I chose to be a women’s and gender studies minor because I have always been drawn to learning about intersectionality and other prominent social issues, and this allowed me to continue educating myself and allowed me to continue feeling passionate about it.”

“Whenever I had a difficult time (either in my personal life or academically), my political science and women’s and gender studies professors were there for me. Almost all of them would adjust due dates if needed and provide me with extra support as well.”

“What I have come to learn about the Women’s and Gender Studies department is that it’s not about the content you learn, but the person you become. For this reason, I have loved taking courses that have allowed me to reevaluate the person I am today. Not only that, it has opened pathways into new friendships, good relations with amazing staff, and opportunities to really make a change in our Carthage community.” 

“I recently went on a J-Term study tour to Peru called The Role of Tourism and its Effect on Women and the Environment in Peru. We studied the effects of tourism on both the environment and indigenous women. This trip was absolutely phenomenal!”

“The professors have really inspired me to follow my passions. Having good relationships with faculty strengthens my trust in Carthage and what it has to offer.”

“Carthage faculty have had an invaluable impact on my college career. These are the types of relationships you could never find at larger universities.”

“I always had a desire to connect with people, share stories, make art, and help others. I know my studies bring me those things every day!”
