Let us introduce you to the adoptable dogs of our class of 2018 Anthrozoology Department Canine Training Program. Our Carroll College student handlers work and live with each adoptable dog during the school year. They serve as foster caregivers for shelter dogs while they train in one of several disciplines such as service, narcotics detection, and search and rescue. Though each shelter dog has been trained in a particular area, they can be adopted as a family pet. Check out this year's adoptable dog profiles (all 18 of them) online at carroll.edu/dogs. Begin the process now and the dogs will be available upon graduation in the spring. |

To help continue the important work being done by Carroll College’s Engineers Without Borders in Guatemala, the Foundation for the Diocese of Helena recently awarded CC-EWB a grant in the amount of $1,000. This grant funding will be used for the continuation of the seismic retrofit wall construction at the Instituto La Asuncion school located in Santo Tomas La Union, Guatemala. This past summer there were two big earthquakes that occurred in Guatemala: June 14, 2017, magnitude 6.6 and on June 22, magnitude 6.8. In addition, the one that rocked Mexico City, magnitude 7.7, also impacted Guatemala.
“Damage to the school occurred mainly in places where no structural wall work by EWB students took place. It is rewarding to see the success of our construction has paid off and illustrates the need to for others who wish to contribute to this effort to do so,” said Willis Weight PhD, PE, Professor of Engineering and EWB Faculty Advisor. |
