Why Carthage?
“I chose Carthage for multiple reasons — the small class sizes,如何 美丽的 it is, all the resources offered to students, 和 how welcoming it felt when I first visited. 也, my first-ever visit to Carthage was in November, so the 美丽的 fall colors sold me on the spot!”
教师 mentors
“I wholeheartedly believe I would not be where I am today without the professors I’ve had here at Carthage. 的 psychology 和 studio art professors showed me that I am in the right place. 的 relationships I’ve built have led to so many opportunities for me. 的 教师 here at Carthage is unmatched.”
Favorite class
“My favorite class so far has been the sophomore seminar for my art major. 的 class is made up of all the sophomore art majors. My class had eight students, 和 we became so close throughout the class. It was amazing to build relationships with the rest of my studio art graduating class.”
Toughest class
“My toughest class so far has got to be Research Methods 和 Statistics for my psychology major. 数学 has never been my strong suit, so learning to love it 和 how to use it for what I want to do in life has been a challenge, but I am so happy I have been pushed to learn something that will help me so much post-grad.”
Campus involvement
“I am involved in many organizations on campus! I am the director of graphic design for Carthage Activities Board (CAB), an e-board member of πθ, 和 a general member of the Horticulture Club 和 Psi气. Being in multiple clubs 和 organizations has been a great way to put energy toward something that isn’t being graded.”
Career goal
“Nothing is fully set in stone yet, but I would love to open up an art studio to teach classes or work in some community space with children 和 art. I also plan to go back to school at some point for an art therapy degree.”
Favorite spot on campus
“My favorite spot is under the tree right behind Tarble Hall. It is the perfect spot to sit, think, read, study, or do homework.”
Favorite memory
“I have so many favorite moments it’s so hard to choose! One of them has to be going to the Admiral’s hockey game for a bus trip with CAB! Hockey is one of my favorite sports to watch, 和 it was so fun to go see a game with all my friends.”
Biggest surprise
“I honestly think the biggest surprise so far has been how welcoming 和 supportive everyone is.”
