March 17, 2017 Carroll Insider: Luck of the Saints

Honoring History
A new endowed scholarship has been established honoring beloved history professor, Dr. Robert Swartout Jr. The Dr. Robert Swartout Endowed Scholarship was made possible through the generosity of Thomas ‘83 and Kimberly ‘84 Whyte, with the support of Daniel Whyte ‘85, Michael Whyte ‘88, and Rex Renk ’88. The scholarship is intended for a worthy student with a passion for history and who exemplifies the quality, character and academic promise of a student at Carroll College. Preference will be given to students from Montana.
”Dr. Swartout vibrantly showed how history plays an active role in our daily lives. He became the communicator and caretaker of so many stories of our past,” said Tom and Kim Whyte. “This scholarship provides Carroll the ability to communicate and take care of Dr. Swartout’s story as well as impacting the stories of those for whom Dr. Swartout cares for the most ­– the students of Carroll.”
"I am deeply moved that former students would think enough of me to name a scholarship for future Carroll students in my honor,” said Dr. Swartout. “I loved every moment of my thirty-six years of teaching at Carroll College. The high point of those experiences was the daily interaction with Carroll's remarkable students. They kept me intellectually stimulated, as well as young at heart. Above all else, it was a privilege to serve them in any capacity that I could."

This past February one outstanding Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) member was selected to represent Carroll College at the George C. Marshall Leadership Seminar. Jessica Bates, a senior Business Administration major, traveled to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to partake in this unique opportunity.
“To know I will work for an organization who values the significance of building great qualities as a leader with character so much so that they implement programs like ROTC and offer other opportunities such as this leadership seminar, is absolutely priceless.  These experiences will travel with me throughout my entire life, whether that be in my military or civilian career,” said Bates.
