February 17, 2017 Carroll Insider: Campus Connections

 
It's Open!
The Hunthausen Activity Center opened its doors to students last week! Every day since has been a bustle of activity from spinning and yoga classes, to weight lifting, pick-up basketball games, and racquetball, to name just a few of the activities available in the new, state-of-the-art facility.
Named in honor of Archbishop Raymond Hunthausen, the new facility aims "to provide the Carroll community with diverse programming to engage the mind, body, and spirit and bring joy and balance to our lives."

Visit from the Governor
Living and studying in a state capital gives students a front-row seat to local government and political process. Last week, Governor Steve Bullock paid a visit to Professor Jeremy Johnson's Montana State Politics class to discuss compromise, Montana politics, and accountability.

Student News
Students in Service
This winter break, seven Carroll students led by Dan Thies, associate director of Campus Ministry, ventured to Browning, Montana, on a Headlights trip in order to serve and give back but they ended up receiving just as much. 
Thies stated that what he’s most excited for in these Headlight trips is to see students, “experience Christ in the form of the other, especially in those that have been marginalized,” and how it effects their life and molds their vision for their future.
The goal of this trip was to work with the local Blackfeet community and more specifically with the De La Salle Blackfeet School. The participants all stated how moved they were by how overwhelmingly welcoming, loving, and hopeful the Blackfeet community were towards them and the work they were doing. They spoke about the meaningful connections developed during recess breaks and bonding at the cafeteria lunch tables.
