BACK IN THE SWING OF THINGS
Two weeks into the semester and campus is beginning to bustle again. Students are kicking into gear with spring classes and our winter sports teams are in the heat of their competition schedule. We love to have the greater Helena community join us on campus for lectures, films and sporting events so be sure to check out our calendar of events and we’ll see you on the hilltop!
SAINTS IN GLOBAL SERVICE
While some were catching up on sleep, binge watching Netflix or hitting the ski slopes, three teams of Carroll students, faculty, staff and professional mentors were making the most of their winter break by working on current projects of Carroll’s Engineers Without Borders in Uganda, Guatemala and St. Lucia.
EWB – Uganda
Five Carroll students, a faculty member and two professional mentors traveled to Uganda to oversee the rehabilitation of three wells that supply drinking water to Holy Trinity Secondary School and the surrounding villages. The EWB team worked with a local contractor and village residents and conducted training sessions for the villages' Water Use Committees. View photos and read more about the project in Uganda.
EWB – Guatemala
Seven Carroll students, a faculty member and a staff member traveled to the Asunción School in Santo Tomás La Unión, Guatemala, to rebuild and reinforce three walls in the school that sustained damage following a 7.3 earthquake in August of 2017. They also helped to outline a prioritized plan to repair the rest of the school. View photos and read more about the project in Guatemala.
EWB – St. Lucia
An EWB team of four students, one staff member and one mentor traveled to St. Lucia to monitor the efficacy of the improvements previously made by EWB to the domestic water system at the Marian Home in Castries, and assess the needs and priorities for the next phase. View photos and read more about the project in St. Lucia.
