Each year, Carroll College students study, intern, volunteer or perform service-learning abroad through programs offered by our Global Education office. This spring, two of our students are sharing their experiences via an online blog.
Jenny Tu is a junior communications major from Seattle taking part in Semester At Sea, a multi-country study abroad program on a ship which emphasizes global comparative study. Her trip itinerary includes Japan, Vietnam, Seychelles, Mauritius, South Africa, Ghana, Morocco and Amsterdam.
Emily McLean is a sophomore sociology and Spanish major from Bend, Oregon. She is spending her semester in Valparaíso, Chile, studying at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso through one of Carroll’s many exchange programs.
Carroll College exchanges are the most affordable way for students to study abroad for a semester or academic year. Currently, there are over 300 schools in 56 different countries for students to choose from! To learn more about the programs offered at Carroll, please visit our search and apply site.

| DISTINGUISHED SCHOLAR LECTURE SERIES |
|
If you are in town tonight, Wednesday, February 26, join us for our Distinguished Scholar Lecture Series featuring Senior Research Associate in Biology and Biochemistry/Molecular Biology Grant Hokit, Ph.D., presenting “The Not-So-Innocents Abroad: The Travels of Animal-Borne Disease.”
As the world grapples with the outbreak of coronavirus – a zoonotic disease that travels between animals and people, Dr. Grant Hokit, through his research with West Nile Virus, will describe the similarities and differences with this and other animal-borne diseases that are emerging and spreading across the globe at increasing rates affecting humans, livestock and wildlife populations. In particular, Dr. Hokit will discuss current hypotheses on the biological, geographic and anthropological factors thought to be driving recent outbreaks and the potential for pandemics. Read more.
The Distinguished Scholar Lecture Series features Carroll faculty sharing their scholarly and creative work with the Carroll and Helena communities. In total, there are three lectures per year, providing opportunities for community members to learn about relevant and meaningful topics of our time. Join us tonight – February 26 at 7 p.m. in the Wiegand Amphitheatre in Simperman Hall on the Carroll College campus – to learn about this timely topic. |
