| ALUMNA GIFTS $1.2 MILLION TO ANTHROZOOLOGY |
|
Carroll’s widely popular Anthrozoology program is about to get a new canine center, thanks to a generous donation from Whitney Call, a 2008 Carroll College graduate, and her family.
The family gifted $1,250,000 through the FJM Impact Fund to support construction of the Perkins Call Canine Center, and partial compensation for a Center director for five years. The Center will house Anthrozoology faculty in canine, equine, and wild animal disciplines and provide space for classroom instruction, research, veterinary examinations, canine training, and human-animal bond activities. Construction is slated to begin in the fall of 2019.
Whitney and her dog Fender (pictured above) were the first student-canine team to earn a minor in the human-animal bond program which has since developed into the robust Anthrozoology program. “Being involved in the Anthrozoology program at Carroll College had a tremendous impact on my life,” said Whitney Call. “Gaining a deeper understanding into the interactions between humans and animals, and the ways in which we can partner with animals to have mutually beneficial relationships, helped me to determine a career path and changed my life in a positive way. The experiences I had in the program helped me grow not only from an academic standpoint, but were also fun and fulfilling. I hope that many more students can benefit from the program in coming years.”

Thank you to all who gave so generously so that Carroll College's largest capital campaign to-date, the MIND BODY SPIRIT Campaign, was able to come to a successful close. The college closed the campaign having exceeded its goal of $20 million by raising a total of $20.8 million over the course of the four-year campaign.
"The completion of the MIND BODY SPIRIT Campaign represents a considerable achievement for Carroll. Not only have these gifts provided the resources to construct buildings and enhance programs, they exemplify the faith and commitment our friends, supporters and alumni have for Carroll,” said Candie Cain, Interim Vice President for Advancement. “The willingness of so many to provide transformational support to the college demonstrates that people recognize the impact of what is happening on Carroll’s campus, in our classrooms and across the globe. The influence Carroll graduates have on our communities is evident. And people acknowledge and support that generously. I am humbled by the support for the MIND BODY SPIRIT Campaign that has forever changed the skyline of Carroll and the educational experience of our learning community."
