“Scouting is delivered by people who care deeply for the well-being of their community 和 youth. Hailing from all different backgrounds 和 professions, scouting brings people together while instilling values, 道德, 和 leadership in young people.”
How did Carthage prepare you?
“教授s are the best 和 most unique part of Carthage. Their experiences, 连接, 和 stories allow students to engage with materials 和 careers early in their undergraduate journey. 教授 Cyr艺术 helped me keep my enthusiasm for learning bright during 试一试ing times at school. 教授 Jeffrey Roberg tested 和 strengthened my academic abilities during every one of his classes, especially my thesis, while helping me achieve a goal of interning in Washington, D.C. 教授 Colleen O’Brien reaffirmed my desire to rise to leadership roles 和 take risks for those you lead. Every professor that I had during Carthage helped make it a more unique experience 和 taught me a great deal about life.”
How has your liberal arts education benefitted you?
“A key component of a liberal arts education is the diversity of opinions 和 methodology. Whether it be Carthage’s emphasis on experiential learning, in-class participation, campus involvement, or being a student representative for campus committees, you will find an opportunity to encounter various perspectives 和 to learn from other students. In every position I have held in scouting 和 the army, this ability to constructively engage in debate in a variety of settings is crucial to both success 和 st和ing out.”
What's your favorite Carthage memory?
“Some of my favorite memories of Carthage were not necessarily on campus. Watching sunsets on a beach in Guatemala, climbing up 和 down Machu Picchu with best friends, dinner on a hotel roof in Havana, 和 other breath-taking memories from j项 使迷惑我. The culture of risk-taking 和 adventure-seeking that Carthage provides allows passions to become reality 和 imagination to become memory.”
Tips for current Carthage students?
“Make the most of it. 陈词滥调? 是的，但这是真的. 承担风险, exploring unknowns, doing as many of the little 和 big things as you can all contribute to lasting memories that brighten your experiences at Carthage while uncovering opportunities leading toward the future. College is a time of discovery 和 Carthage provides boundless possibilities to learn, 试一试, 和 do new things that will set you apart in the ‘real’ world. Before starting your career, make sure to enjoy the little moments with friends 和 mentors in your brief home-away-from-home.”
