After seventeen years at Carroll College, Dr. Jim Hardwick, Vice President for Student Life, announced his retirement last week. Dr. Hardwick, with his unfailing humor, calm demeanor and deep compassion for our students, will be greatly missed. He is leaving his position at Carroll to focus on his health and prepare himself for a new heart as he has been on a heart transplant list at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane for the past two years.
Patrick Harris, Director of Student Activities, shared, “Jim has been a wonderful mentor to me over the past 16 years. I have always appreciated Jim's focus on creating a better college, and college experience for our students. He cares deeply for his fellow co-workers and the students of Carroll College.”
“I am grateful to have been able to work with Dr. Hardwick throughout the semester,” said Kennedy Bahm, current president of the Associated Students of Carroll College. “Carroll College was blessed by his servant heart and leadership, we will miss him!”
Senior Daniel Olszewski added, "I am so grateful for his friendship and guidance. While sad to see him go, I wish him the best and thank him for all of the years he has worked for Carroll."
Jim, all of us at Carroll wish you the very best and thank you for your years of loving service to our college and our students. Best of luck and good health! |

 The Carroll EWB Holiday Campaign is now underway to support their current projects. This year's theme is "Giving Hope." In January, three Carroll EWB teams will travel to Guatemala, Mexico, and Uganda. Your donations go a long ways to support the engineering work they are doing in these communities as well as St. Lucia. In addition, the Carroll EWB experience provides awesome opportunities for our students to grow as future leaders in service to others. The Carroll Engineering motto is "Engineering for Life."

| SUPPORTING NEIGHBORS IN NEED |

This year, Carroll College is partnering with SOVRN, The Angel Fund, and the Helena Community to support "Neighbors in Need," a donation drive for everyday essentials for those in need. The goal of  the campaign is to gather a large number of basic household items and distribute to families in need through The Angel Fund. These essential items – household cleaning supplies and personal hygiene products – are often not affordable for our neighbors with limited resources, making them go without the items we take for granted on a daily basis. Carroll student groups ENACTUS and ASCC are supporting this important project. Collection bins will be located in the PE Center lobby and the Campus Center and at these locations around town through December 20: FourOsix, Big Dipper Ice Cream, Power Townsend, Discount Tire, Great Divide Cyclery, The SideCar, Ten Mile Creek Brewery, Gym 406, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Thank you for helping our neighbors! |
