Favorite thing about working at Carthage

“I feel like the lake is too obvious of an answer, but it is definitely a huge perk! My favorite thing about working at Carthage is the one-team mentality amongst faculty and staff. We are all working toward one goal and supporting one another in delivering an excellent experience for our students. Everyone is willing to lend a helping hand to get the job done!”
