“I chose Carthage after receiving the Business Scholarship and talking with staff on campus who wanted to see my success.”

Kelly Steele, ’27

Favorite class

“My favorite class has been Carthage Chorale. I’ve enjoyed working with Professor Maggie Burk; she listens to her students and uses her talents with the students to help music.”

Toughest class

Computational Reasoning with MATLAB has been the most difficult. MATLAB is a coding software where some of the course work applies Calculus I, Calculus II, and Statics work without taking them, so you just have to roll with what you are given.”

Campus involvement

“I am on the e-board for Residence Life Council, and we help plan events around campus for people to get involved outside of resident assistant duties.”

Favorite spot on campus

“It’s between The Tower 4th floor and the Lentz Hall Engineering Center. The comfort of doing homework in an intimate location with not many people around is really nice.”

Best study tip

“Study with friends who are also studious. It helps so much to get in that mindset when you have someone else holding you accountable.”

Best tip for making friends

“Get involved, go to mixers, go to the different events on campus. You can also get involved in class to meet people.”
