Academic Growth Areas
Contributions will enable the College to build and fortify programs with significant growth potential, including:
- Engineering: Optimize the engineering facility that’s now in the first phase of construction in Lentz Hall and make faculty openings even more attractive to highly qualified candidates.
- Business and Economics: Equip Carthage students to “Achieve What’s Next,” the fitting motto of the new school. Spur the creation of new business offerings and help the College to recruit additional faculty.
- Nursing and Pre-health: Support Carthage’s most popular major (nursing) by paving the way for new specialties, additional faculty, and updated facilities (including software for the high-tech simulators). Boost pre-health advising.
“I’ve always found it most fulfilling to be a bridge between a problem and a solution, to build relationships. I came to Carthage with a sense that college would help me find my path, and it did. I found my calling.”
– Patrick D’Alessandro ’23, B.A. in Marketing and Management
