ECOLOGY IN ECUADOR
Carroll’s Environmental Program has been developing experiential ecology courses that expose their students to learning outside of the classroom, including studying abroad. This past winter break, 14 Carroll students led by professors of biology, Dr. Grant Hokit and Dr. Travis Almquist, traveled to Ecuador to study the tropical ecosystem. This trip is juxtaposed to last January’s ecology course (profiled in last summer’s Carroll Magazine), which had them spending two weeks in Yellowstone National Park in the heart of winter. Check out a story about their trip to Ecuador in this month’s Prospector as well as additional photos from their time there on the Carroll College Environmental Program Facebook page.

TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS!
Congratulations to the Carroll College Talking Saints! In January, the forensics team made it 28 straight years winning or sharing the top award at the Northwest Forensics Conference. Plus, 17 individual students brought home 40 total awards!
The Talking Saints now turn their attention to two national championships in April. Those events will be preceded by a couple national warm-ups to get ready for Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Stanford and the elite national field. Read more.
