Kj De Jesús ’24
Majors: English with Creative Writing Emphasis and History
Hometown: Kenosha, Wisconsin
“I have enjoyed so many classes here — History of the Caribbean, Native American Literature, Greek Religion, Creative Writing, and Politics in Film are all amazing courses.”

Dorin Tiberius Drimboi ’23
Majors: History
Minors: Secondary Education & Psychology
Hometown: Des Plaines, Illinois
“I chose Carthage because of the fact it was so close to home while also being far enough where I can grow independently. I also chose Carthage because of the family/community feel that I have definitely felt in my four years here. The small class sizes were a major draw, and the lake is also a huge reason most people decide to go here.”

“Having positive relationships with the faculty here has helped me to create more opportunities for myself at Carthage, and it’s great knowing that I can reach out to any past or present professors if I need help.”
