| RAY KUNTZ RECEIVES 2018 INSIGNIS AWARD |
|
President John Cech announced this week that Mr. Ray Kuntz '77 is the recipient of the 2018 Carroll College Insignis Award.
Over the past eight years, Ray has helped to transform Carroll College through his generosity and leadership. He has been an ardent supporter of student scholarships. Since 2016, he has provided scholarship support to 182 students from Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming for a total of $536,904. An additional $18,096 will be awarded this spring.
Ray’s unprecedented financial support to build two new campus apartments not only provides housing options for our students to live independently on campus, but the revenue from these two apartments is being directed to support student scholarships, known as the Halo Scholarships.
In addition, he faithfully and tirelessly served on the Board of Trustees from 2010-2018 and was instrumental in the $20 million Mind Body Spirit Campaign as well as many other important initiatives at the college during his time on the Board.
When learning of the award, Ray shared, "I am greatly honored by this award but more importantly, I hope that I can help motivate others to fund additional scholarships so that many more students will have the ability to attend Carroll." Ray will be presented this award on behalf of the college at the Founders Gala on November 2, 2018. Read more. |

Our class of 2018-19 Anthrozoology dogs are now ready for adoption! Though each shelter dog has been trained in a particular area, they can be adopted as a family pet. However, if a dog has been trained in a discipline and their new owner values that training, that is an ideal outcome.
The curriculum within Anthrozoology coursework teaches students how to train their dogs, then convey them to an appropriate new owner. Find our listing of ANZ dogs and how to apply for adoption at www.carroll.edu/anthrozoology/adoptable-dogs. Begin the process now and the dogs will be available upon graduation in May. |
