Anti-Racism and Intercultural Seminar Experience

All first-year Carthage students participate in ARISE, a two-semester program for freshmen. Started in Fall 2020, ARISE leads students on a process of personal and relational growth.

ARISE activities include:

  • Taking the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI), a personalized intercultural self-awareness assessment.
  • Reviewing IDI results with an assigned ARISE equity coach. ARISE coaches are Carthage faculty and staff who have been trained in administering and reviewing the IDI.
  • Working with their equity coach to develop and complete an intercultural project, which includes academic and experiential components.
