“I chose Carthage mainly because of the programs offered. 我喜欢 location of Carthage 也! It is perfectly positioned to visit Milwaukee or Chicago, and 出赛 offers a lot of fun activities, 太.”
指导老师
“While I came to Carthage for the programs, I have stayed at Carthage for the faculty. My professors are the best thing about Carthage. Early freshman year, while I was deciding whether or not to double major, my 社会工作 professor sat down with me and plotted out my four-year plan. 在 j项, I was struggling with some personal issues, and the same professor 太k time to talk with me and help me reconcile the issues I was facing with the content I had been learning in my 社会工作 courses.
“Besides these two professors, my other professors have also helped me succeed. Carthage professors are willing to come to their students’ assistance, whether that is writing letters of recommendation, helping with scholarship essay writing and applications, getting you into a full class, or just having a conversation with you after class about the material. Without the support of so many professors, my experience at Carthage would not be the same.”
最喜欢的课程
“This is such a hard question because I have taken so many wonderful classes at Carthage! I have especially enjoyed all my 社会学 and 社会工作 classes because the content is so interesting and the professors are outstanding!”
校园的参与
“One club I am involved in is the 博彩网址大全读书俱乐部. I have always loved reading, and Book Club gives me a community of people to talk to about what I am reading. It also pushes me to read for fun, which is nice because it can be hard to find time to do that with classes and homework.
“Another club I am involved in is Model United Nations. I just joined this club this year, but I have loved it so far. I am learning a lot about the global society and had the opportunity to improve my writing and public speaking skills!
“I am also involved in Carthage Student Government. Student Government has helped me meet new people and make new friends and has also allowed me to create some of the changes I want to see at Carthage. It has been so rewarding to work with my peers and see improvements being made.”
职业目标
“I want to work with youth as a 社会工作er. 现在, I am really interested in Child Protective 服务, but that might change as I finish the rest of my degree. I am excited for senior year when 社会工作 students get a field placement. I hope the field placement will help me decide what area of 社会工作 I want to go into.”
Favorite spot on campus
“My favorite spot on campus is the picnic table area behind Tarble大厅. 我喜欢 lake breeze and how close it is to my dorm!”
最大的惊喜
“I was expecting it to be a lot colder and snowier. I’m from Minnesota, so the lack of below-zero temperatures has been a welcome surprise!”
What would your 8-year-old self think of you now?
“My 8-year-old self would be surprised about my current study path because I originally wanted to be a teacher like my mom. In her job, my mom connects with others to solve problems and build community. She also creates space for her students to help them grow emotionally and academically. While I do not want to have a teaching job like my mom, I still want to take the skills she uses and apply them to make connections and help people in my career in 社会工作.”
