Dr. Erica Feuerbacher and DogPup Welfare
Dr. Erica Feuerbacher, assistant professor of anthrozoology, received a $20,000 grant to conduct a one-year research project to determine the stress level of temporary fostering on dogs from animal shelters, and to determine if any future adoptive home behaviors can be predicted from the experience.

“This is an exciting opportunity for the anthrozoology department to partner with Best Friends Animal Society and Arizona State University and engage our students in research that focuses on animal welfare. Our field is relatively new and there is a lot yet to be discovered. It's great that Carroll College will be a part of adding new knowledge to the field of anthrozoology,” said Feuerbacher.

A schedule of commencement activities can be found on the Carroll Commencement webpage. Carroll College graduates from the classes of 1956 and 1966 will also be honored. To accommodate our largest graduating class ever and associated family and friends, the Commencement ceremony will be held outside in Nelson Stadium. Due to the ongoing construction near the P.E. Center, there is less parking available. All other campus lots are open for Commencement parking. We encourage graduates and guests to carpool and plan accordingly for the extra time needed to secure parking.
